Usually gets narrower and less muddy after that point. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk The entire trail was damp and all the rocks were slick.

Ridenfool Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Granted, there is rain in the forecast, but, looking at the details it seems to be merely one hundredth of an inch each day. Essentially, a heavy dew. With this in mind, what are the current conditions of area trails? I'd like to go get some strange this weekend. Pace Bend? Brushy? Canyon Lake Madrone? Word?

natas1321 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Madrone was damp and the rocks were slippery, was going to try get a ride in there but not today. Headed to flat Rock in a few. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBaron Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I know this is the standard canned answer, but if your looking for some strange and it may be damp (ha!) then I'd seek out RPR. -CJB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridenfool Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 RPR is on the list of considerations for some day soon. Only snag is I may want to stay Sunday night wherever I choose to go and the RPR policy specifies camping being available only for Friday and Saturday nights. Flat Creek is looking promising. Watching for Jimmy to update the conditions. Haven't been to either of those places in a long time and both have new-to-me trails to explore.

Canyon of the Eagles is just up the road from RPR for camping or nice rooms. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Canyon of the Eagles is a private park, but they do have camping for $30 / tent spot, and $45 (weekday) or $49 (weekends) / RV spot a night. (kinda pricey) Inks Lake is the closest state park, and is a little closer to RPR than Canyon of the Eagles. Camping prices range from $11 to $23 a night. I am starting to lean toward driving out to Inks, get a campsite. Head to RPR for a ride and then back to Inks for the night. I could pick up something on the way home on Monday that has a good report over the weekend, like Muleshoe, Pace Bend, Reimers, or some ATX trail.

I heard somewhere that Inks Lake has some underrated riding. If it's made of that same water resistant granite magic dirt, that could be a fun change from RPR.

But you're probably right about the composition being water proof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trail Forks shows a little under 3 miles of singletrack that it says is for biking and describes as technical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A call to check with Crystal at Inks Lake confirmed their trails are hiking only. Because sites like MTBProject and Trail Forks have volunteer contributed content the trail may have been posted by someone who rode it unaware of this.

Ridenfool Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 After doing yard work all day and getting drizzled on sporadically my enthusiasm for a camping foray has waned and the long haul to RPR from here has lost whatever luster it held for me. So, what's the word for any of the trails in the greater ATX? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
