Barry Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Light drizzle came and went. Maybe more to come, but it looks like chances for real rain are dwindling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinBike Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 But the chances for hero dirt keep going up and up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinBike Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Rumor has it the trails at WC are GTG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamsloan Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I have heard this rumor as well. In!…and a huge thank you to all the people who have put in time maintaining WC. The trail improvements have had a noticeable impact in how quickly the trail drains and how quickly the trail is dry enough to ride after a rain.

AustinBike Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 The one caveat may be Mark's art. I will probably get there early and will go do some recon ahead of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I was out last night and indeed everything except Mark's Art is in great shape. A river runs through it. You can ride the armor without your tires getting messy, but those wet g-outs wouldn't be fun. The big g-out on Tangle after Mark's is still wet as well. Bunny hop it. BUT there's a line of storms just east of Walnut right now. There's a decent chance it'll miss, but we'll see in the next hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WLemke Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 BUT there's a line of storms just east of Walnut right now. There's a decent chance it'll miss, but we'll see in the next hour. Looks like the cell is passing well south of Walnut. Nice. Between being on vacation and all the rain, I have not had a chance to ride in two weeks. Glad to see that we are starting to get some consecutive dry days. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBaron Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I can confirm that the recent cell passed WC without issue. All that said, my plans were made in anticipation of this cell hitting WC and thus I'm doing the TnT bandit road race up in Twin Falls. Maybe see you guys next week. @Teamsloan you wanna do some suffering on the roadie? Later, CJB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinBike Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Yeah, central Austin got a handful of drops and not much else. Now the sun is out to dry those trails even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntonioGG Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Good to ride with the OG group. Sorry I missed some of you earlier in the "I" portion, but the weather is so nice I had to do another lap. Come July I would have kicked myself if I didn't maximize riding in this perfect weather! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put some 1.9 icons on that and a singlespeed ring - and you are set for suffering on any gravel path. Road bikes are meant to go fast. You want to work hard for that fast. Just rode Suburban on such a rig. Brings a whole new level of effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already got a Stigmata for gravel duties, and I do SN on it. It's perfect for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that measurement pretty close, I'll likely put them on ChamoisHagar at some point since every 50mm gravel tire I've tried is so damn fragile.

I love showing up and the R&I and having fun with everyone. But for me there is NOTHING that pushes my fitness fwd like this past Tuesdays road riding. And to top it off, I truly TRULY enjoy it. I'd liken it to the R&I being like hanging out with all of your friends drinking great craft beer all night and getting drunk together. Heading over to TnT is like going with your best friend over to a house party with people you may not fully know and taking shots of fine Anejo Tequila.

Barry Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I can't tell whether @CBaron wants us to go faster at R&I or if he wants me to start packing tequila. Either works for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I know there's very little love for this around these parts. 😉 But I do know there might be e a few who share my tastes, or at least, may be curious about the 'other side' of our family tree. And with that, I'm here to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
