notyal Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) I have a friend coming in from Seattle tomorrow (5/22), and we are going to ride something. We didn't get much rain down here in Wimberley, but I heard Austin got dumped on this morning. The original plan was to pick up a rental at BSS and ride BCGB for a few hours. We could go a little farther to seek out dry trail, but I need some feedback on what may be rideable. I'm open to other suggestions, but looking for specific info on these: BCGB SATN Pace Bend Madrone Maybe City Park (He's not super comfortable in tech) The other option is to give up hope for singletrack and have him rent a gravel bike instead. Anyone have a good route that could start at BBS S. Lamar and stay mostly off the roads? Of course, there is a chance of rain tomorrow morning, too.

AustinBike Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 We got ~1/4” on the GB, should be fine tomorrow. Might even ride it myself tomorrow. Should be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notyal Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 Interesting. I was on the phone with a buddy in South Austin and he was said it was pouring. Must have been a pretty isolated shower. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 If you're up for a drive a little further than Madrone, Flat Rock is spectacular and they posted that conditions are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustinBike Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Here is the definitive answer: https://hydromet.lcra.org you can zero in on rainfall for the last 24 hours. There is a station at 360 and mopac, pretty much ground zero for the greenbelt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFisher Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Did a pretty good BCGB tour. I would say it is good to go. There were some puddles on the main trail between Zilker and Spyglass, but since it is essentially a dirt road they can be avoided. I bailed at Spyglass to hit the bike path across the creek and everything in the back trails I hit was pimp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
