Yosmithy Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 It's not so much the Alamo Drafthouse that is going to affect SN. It's the Cedar Park Parks Dept plan to put in a paved trail (think BCRT type) that will come all the way up from BCRT to close to the corner of Parmer and 1431. There was a map of the plan that was recently published that illustrates the project. I'll try to find it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Why dig the trails in the first place? Believe me, that's much more investment than buying a sign. Anyone who's dug trail (especially dirt jumps) knows this is a risk - even when you have permission (and a contract) from the landowner. Build it and enjoy it while you can. If we had more builders, stuff would go in faster, enjoyed longer, and maybe if enough people got hooked on it, lobby to keep it legit. Brushy fell into that exact category: http://www.freeride512.com/diggers-with-attitude/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cafeend Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Totally not referencing the trails and amazing work you are doing at the Church. What you have done there and elsewhere is great. And not even the trails at SN.Just referring to the land that is in between on the Parmer frontage.

HoneyBadger Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I'll be working on Peddlers with the Mini-X on Mon, Tues, and Wed evenings. Come by and help if you can, every little bit helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyBadger Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) Favor to ask. While building with the mini-x I hit the motherload of rock (see picture), it's a few turns after the Cedar Bridge (east of Parmer). To be efficient with the mini-x (we have it for one week) I didn't do the hand finishing work and moved on to the next project after clearing a rideable path at the bottom of the berm. If you ride Peddlers Pass (or Brushy Creek) this week it would be amazing if you could stop and pick out a few rocks then throw them behind the berm. It will be a huge help...and you will make a Trail Builders Christmas dream come true. Edited December 18, 2019 by HoneyBadger 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a great way to warm up mid-ride on a cold day like today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree Magnet Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 You should dig a hole on the back side of the berm and we can practice our free throws. Seriously, awesome job Ronan. Thanks again for everything you and all the other trail builders out there do every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRider3141 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 A little bit better. I just did the middle. Not sure how deep you wanted to sweep for rocks. That pile is 50/50 dirt and rocks so I just tossed what popped out when I swept my hands over the surface. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoneyBadger Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 We're done with the mini-x (for now). We built 12 new berms, a big roller, and lessened the slope of the trail after the bridge that crosses the drainage ditch and takes you under Parmer Lane. We foucsed our efforts on the corners that were slowing everyone down. The biggest change is that long dusty right hand turn in the cedars before the roller section, you can now pedal as fast as you want through that section. I'm guessing everyone's times are going to drop by 30 seconds, it will be interesting to watch. Report back how much your times have dropped...fyi some of the berms will still need tweaking and to be ridden in. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d wait until after lunch when trails have had a little more time to dry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cafeend Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 anyone ride any Brushy stuff today?I did. It was real nice. Picnic was fine. 1/4 was tits. DD was nice. Ditch was wet of course but RJ was sweet as usual. I did the west side of PP but bailed after the new berms as it was not muddy but I accumulated too much. I'm sure tomorrow and Tuesday will be great as wellSent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
