Who’s running oval chain ring?
Good, bad? Does it actually help on the climb?

Fall weather is here! What great day for today's group ride!

OC MTB Group ride is on Wednesday at 6:00pm, 10-18-17. Come on out earlier to get more miles in. Total out and back = 6.5 miles

Meet at the northeast corner of Cartwright Rd. and Oyster Creek. You can park at the church at 4200 Cartwright Rd, Missouri City, TX 77459 or at Fort Bend Family YMCA. You can find more info on this trail at mtbproject .com or find the youtube video under OC MTB Trails Missouri City.

Great trail for beginners as well.

Dropping some knowledge on you foo’s

Hello. I am from Tennessee and am thinking of coming that way for a week of vacation. These trails look amazing but I was wondering if there is anything else to do in the area? Also is there some rv parks nearby? I appreciate any and all information that someone could give me. I am trying to decide to go east or west.

Rode Chimney gulch yesterday as well, but my pics from that ride suck. so here are some more from C.C.

Hope you enjoy

Conditions/recommended loop at Golden Gate SP? Mule Deer loop looks fun? Thanks!

Cannonsburg Ski Area - Triple Loop connector parallel trail progressing. My apologies to the riders and one runner last night that I may have startled as I did battle with endless autumn olive...

Hey team, recently moved to the area. Amidst this deluge, what are the best trails to ride re: not damaging trail works etc. Someone at work recommended Ewan Maddock Dam as being loamy and less liable to being damaged post-rain.
Thoughts?

Yankee is beautiful right now. First time going the opposite direction - smokin'!

Tim Trotter and the Monadnock Cycling Club could use your help at the Keene Pumpkin Cross cx race. If you have some time, lend a hand. Biggest need is Sunday. Reach out to Tim if you can help.

WTB Evoc Bike Bag - anyone selling or wanting to get rid of one?

Despite the rain CDC is running really nice, should be awesome come race day

Who is riding a 29r in the koots? Talk to me.

Shark 1 rebuild is flying along

Hey guys n gals, does anyone know if there's shuttles running this Friday?

Hoping to ride this weekend, driving 4 hours from Oklahoma. I see there is rain in the forecast, and wondering how much rain Slaughter Pen or Back 40 can handle.

Reminder: The new North Floyd Hill trail system could eventually connect with Mayhem Gulch and the Peaks to Plains Trail. How cool would that be? Attend the meeting this Wednesday evening for more details. Oh yeah and do the survey:

First berm on HLC has been rebuilt! It took me under 2 hours and Jack came and help the last hour. It is a little soft but ride able right now and with all the rain forecast over the next few days it should firm up real nice. We also added about 4" of height to the take off to the Banana Hammock.
I hope it shows that volunteering even a little bit of time can make a big difference. You dont need to give up a weekend or a full day, even a few hours can really help! /end of shameless plug for workparties...????

Hey Guys, so I left my jacket on the jacket tree today. Got home then realized why I was so cold on the ride back. Coincidentally it's the same jacket Thomas (Annie) "lost" on the same tree, greyish Sugoi jacket. I'll go back tmr after work and grab it. If someone I know is riding tmr day and wouldn't mind grabbing it and tossing it at my front door that would be sweet! 1437 Alder. You guys are the best! Cheers ????

More Merrell info: for those (like me) who want more info on the road contruction project, here you go.

RIDING TO FIGHT KIDS' CANCER

At the time of this email, I’ve raised $3305. I’m aiming for $5000.

Please, help me, help the kids who are suffering with various cancers.


Kind regards,
Erin.

Just back from a night ride at Morning Mountain. There are 6 or 7 trees down on Bottoms UP, that many on the first 100m of Upper Bottoms. We turned back and rode Lefty. Four trees down on Lefty.

I'm planning a chainsaw mission tomorrow, anyone got some time to help me? I don't think I'll be able to get them all on my own. Email craigh at netidea dot com.

Too late for the snakes, too early for the giant spiders. Doing a lap on the MM -DB loop.

5pm for a dusty Dam loop with Sandy foot pizza to follow.

Ill Advised CX was a blast! Every Tuesday evening!????

Rode Tatamagouche, and Medusa today... Perfect trails, perfect weather.

Mike Moran, wasn’t this you and I in Hell 2
One day?

Fresh cut trail at Royal gorge Park! There's a few kickers to get air. Then just when you start thinking about how fast it is, it gets steeper and faster! Best downhill in Canõn City now. I'm crowning it...

We need to totally borrow this sign idea for areas of the Nature Trail and lower area of Brewers and Moose Glutch..

Lost a subura fob key at betasso tonight. Along the portion of Benjamin loop between the 4mile link trail and the intersection with the link to canyon.. Definitely a long shot, but gotta try

Going ride 2 or 3 laps Wednesday (tomorrow) evening about 5:15 with Jimmy Tarbell III. Come join if you'd like to! We're super slow, so come show off!

Tree down across Nimby, just above Back Pains start. The hand saw I didn't have will do the trick.

Wahlfield was overall good. Still a few muddy spots. There is standing water near the end of Lotsa Problems. Rode both MTB and Fat Bike on it today.

Sardis Secondary MTN Bike Club went up and cleared a few fallen trees off Sunnyside and Dilemma. Both trails are clear.

Rode parts of Big M did outer loop through Swedish fiddle and then back to inner loops. Outer loop was rough (bouncy), many branches and trees down. Some appear to have become features. Inner loop appears to get much more use and was in good shape. The hills beat me up pretty good. Far better work out than ski hill and to some degree Yankee (mine and my lungs opinion) Even inner loop has many branches you need avoid. some of the trees are bunny hops but trsail overall needs a little TLC

Wednesday. Who wants to ride? Who wants to work on the trails? I have time for both.

See you soon!

Merrell update: in case you try to access the trail on the north side (where apparently the construction has REALLY expanded) and attempt a descent down one of those dirt piles made by the dozers, they are indeed steep. OTB may result.????

Hey riders, a couple of trees down on the first half of two cents across the trail .going to need some chainsaws to remove them. theres a fair amount of debris as well so do your part and remove a branch or two if you're ridin it . The rest of the trail down into skidder and dilemma are not too bad, but be careful..

Work Parties at Duthie Tomorrow and Saturday! Rain or shine.

Anyone free tomorrow during the afternoon? Wanna go riding.

Question of trail maintenance/building ethic. This steep, rutted out, rocky, root section has gotten pretty gnarly the last couple seasons. I'd say expert+ section now. Some people have been riding a couple lines off the side, and there seems to be a decent intermediate line just beside it now, but others regularly throw logs in the intermediate line to block it, and now some people are going even further around the right tree since it's blocked. I get that we don't want to widen trails, but the intermediate line is there, why block it? What's the general thought? Pic in comments.

We saw a rather large bobcat entering the trails down the gravel road across the ditch where we go in this evening. Be on your toes, you're not alone in the woods

I left my helmet and gloves on my toolbox and drove off. If you live by the soccer fields and happen to see them in the street, I'd be grateful if you snagged them!!!

Reminder folks - wind + rain = trail issues.

Please post them on Trailforks using the reporting tools and if possible geo-location so we know where the problems are. Makes attending to them so much easier for the trail fairies.

Made it to the top! Part of me kept wanting to turn back. I'm proud of myself for pushing on!

Due to volatile weather patterns today the Gerick Cycle and Ski Tuesday Night Group ride will be cancelled. Nobody wants to be pancaked. #tuesnighter
