I'm gonna go with you. The offer has been made to take the site over - do it!

45SW Trail The 45SW Trail is a 4.5-mile paved shared use path that provides an alternate transportation route for cyclists, and recreation for the public, with future connections to the Violet Crown Trail. It features two trailheads with parking and bicycle repair stands for public use, beautiful hill country scenery, and interpretive signage with augmented reality experiences. In addition to a beautiful display of springtime wildflowers and an overlook at Bear Creek, you’ll find 14 informative and highly visual interpretive signs along the 4.5-mile trail. Immerse yourself in the rich history and natural wonders of the Hill Country and Edwards Aquifer by stopping to read the signs as you travel. I am very interested in the augmented reality experiences, which I haven't had since college days.  Also, interpretive signs are typically, by definition, highly visual. 

It looks like no one puts anything on here: https://austinmountainbiking.com/index.php?/calendar/ I'd love to integrate Yellow Bike events onto this calendar. Who can make the decision to make that work?

So I finally got to try a "real" eMTB today at the Pivot demo. Overall the experience was about what I expected. More miles, less tired, easier on my heart but still a good workout. It was alot of fun, but almost got borderline boring by the end? Hard to explain, maybe because after 17 miles at Walnut you've done everything at least once. I'd really like to try one on an A to B adventure ride or as a gravel bike for longer distance. I think I'd really like it.  The bike (Shuttle SL) was great, I'm not a well. qualified reviewer but I'd say the bike and it's 3+ power modes were spot on. Perfect amount of assistance with easy controls to use while riding. Never once did I feel like the motor was doing something for nothing and never once did it feel like it was overpowering me. Spec was great, more than enough to handle the nut. I would love to try it on something techy like 1/4 notch. I think he said it was 37ishlbs. It felt great, but I have a dirt bike background so the extra weight didn't bother me at all compared to my 30 ish lbs  "acoustic" bike.    I can 100% see the alure for someone who wants to extend their riding career due to age, health etc. Or someone who wants to get more miles in. However, I would say, it's a different sport, it's not a dirt bike but it's almost not a MTB. Maybe you could grab a 90s stump jumper and compare it my Timberjack and say the same thing. 

I posted some of these pictures on an Austin Mountain Biking Facebook page and wanted to share some of them and others here.  The photos are from various trails in various states from when I started the first professional trail building company in Texas, Talon Trails LLC, in 2004, worked for Trek Bicycles designing and building their test trails, and volunteered with local clubs. I designed and/or built trail in 14 states, Canada, and Puerto Rico, and enjoyed almost every bit of it.   While I miss designing and building trails and features, my life & priorities are a lot different now.
