AustinBike Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 @mack_turtle was kind enough to take his camera with him when he was out at Reimer's and grabbed some pics of the flow trail. This is a new section that is not too far from the main trailhead parking lot. http://www.austinbike.com/index.php/news-and-events/382-reimer-s-ranch-flow-trail Enjoy.

mack_turtle Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Not sure about beer pairing after that much sun exposure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanerpvt Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 How about Independence Brewing’s Native Texas as a beer pairing? Cheers, Shaner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATXZJ Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I'd say a quick stop next door would pair well https://familybusinessbeerco.com/ 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better being so close. I much admit i have not tried any of their beer, any good? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tip Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 My input: The first two pictures are riding uphill. I don't even think that the trail depicted is in the Flow Trails Area. There is an uphill, Return trail, but that's not it. This might confuse someone reading an article about a fun downhill Flow Trail. Also, AustinBike, in your write up you say "the city has done a nice job" This is a county park. The county deserves a lot of props for what they are doing out there. Even the nice new wood signage is being done by the people that work in that park. But the signs are installed by ARR's steward Ken Reed. He too deserves a lot of props as he's been working hard on trail maintenance and improving things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mack_turtle Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) Indeed, two of those photos are not from the flow trail. They are probably in Kent's Krash. I should have clarified that. I'd like to go out there with another rider and get images of someone actually riding the features some time.

Last spring we hit Reimers and the flow trail, but the brewery wasnt open. Family reminded me of twisted x. Nice venue, decent beer but no standouts. Thanks to @mack_turtle and @AustinBikefor adding the flow trail to the site. Did you get to send anything? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmc4130 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) Earlier this year we (ARR) walked the trail with Travis County and provided input to one of their downtown staff members who was applying for a $200K-ish State of Texas grant—part of which would go towards finishing out the other four planned Flow Trails. It was Travis County who contacted ARR about this—THEY want it finished, which is a refreshing attitude. We are supposed to hear back regarding that grant application this month!! Cross ya fingahs!

olddbrider Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 The new line out there is a great start, but having a few more flow/gravity lines would make Reimers more of a destination. Reveille Peak is a great example of a place that's embracing that style of riding and it seems like it's paying off with way more riders out there on any given weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having spider next door doesn't hurt either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More bikes in the area has only been good for RPR. And it has been particularly good for the same big hit crowd. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
