walker Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) Is it possible to purchase a paper map of the Walnut Creek trails? Edited February 1, 2019 by walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CopeIt Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Hell, does anyone even have a link to a current map? I've been trying to link trails into a suitable full ride without thinking about which trail to take at each split ...having a hell of a time.

cxagent Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I posted a link to the City of Austin PARD map of Walnut Creek Park trails a while back. That link is now dead. I have requested a new link to the map. I will post the new link when it is available. Until then, I suggest mtbproject or ride with one of the regular group rides. But only when the trail is dry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have known that any organization bigger than AustinBike would have to fiddle with the links every so often. How else would the IT department stay busy???

AustinBike Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 The AB world headquarters notified me of this thread. There were 3 links, one was invalid. The other 2 are still valid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cxagent Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) The two valid links are to very *OLD* maps. That would be before the concrete sidewalk. If you can host the file - we can fix the problem. Check your email. Edited February 2, 2019 by cxagent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinBike Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 AustinBike World Headquarters has approved the update, it is live now on the site. http://www.austinbike.com/images/trails/walnutcreek/WC2017.pdf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cxagent Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 To the original poster - Download the PDF file from the AustinBike web site. Take that file to Kinkos, Miller Blue Print, Dynamic Reprographics, or similar print shop. Pay them to print that map in any size or configuration you desire. Say Thank You to AustinBike for fixing the problem permanently. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridenfool Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 It is just awful what a slave-driving boss they have at ABHQ. Busting ass on a Friday eve for this map emergency shows dedication, though I'd wager they aren't getting overtime pay for this. It does leave me wondering what the post-emergency beer would be ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinBike Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Technically, it was vodka and black cherry Bai Bubbles (https://www.drinkbai.com/bubbles/bolivia-black-cherry). Due to my improved health situation over the last couple years I limit my beer intake. Beer is so perfect after rides that I rarely drink it at home. Just mentioned to the wife yesterday that we have beer in the downstairs fridge that is from September or October of last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyt Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I print a pocket size version of the map, trim off all the excess and laminate it (obviously trim off all the excess laminate.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyt Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) i cant tell from the legend where the off leash/on leash areas are. Edited February 2, 2019 by crazyt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinBike Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 As I understand it, off leash is north of the creek and on-leash is south of the creek. Someone that knows more can correct me as that was an old distinction from many years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CopeIt Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Appreciate it. All I was able to find after scouring the nets were pre-2014. Much better than the app maps.Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone that knows more can correct me as that was an old distinction from many years ago. Still true today. Look at the right hand column of the legend. Note the lighter green north of Walnut Creek and the slightly darker green south of Walnut Creek. It is hard to show ALL information on the same map without the map becoming unreadable. The City did a great job trying to get the most information on to one map and keep it legible. The map in the link includes all the EMS location numbers. IMHO, those location numbers became the best way to identify a location or link together a route. So any map that did not include location numbers was not very helpful to me.
