Emma Long ride.... - Page 24

FYI:

There's an upcoming TRIALS COMPETITION in FEB at CITY PARK.

In preparation for this big competition, AUSTIN TRIALS CLUB started putting up ribbons this weekend around some key sections off to the side of the Main loop. This work will be in progress all the way up to the competition weekend.

Like in the past, these ribboned off sections do NOT obstruct, nor interfere, nor close off the main loop, so everyone can still ride out there like before.

Going in am for a bit. Then going to watch some football. Should be perfect condition.

You guys enjoying these record breaking 85 deg F sunny days in early Feb??

I rode out there yesterday and ... SHAZAM!.....look at this new
rock garden that's now laid down near the end of the main loop.

I don't know about you....but this looks like a killer spot to dial in your suspension for riding rocks.

I'll be out there around noon..riding my funny lookin' bike..

I was out there the day they did that work. That's a whole lot of rocks to lay. I'm not sure if that was done to prevent erosion in one of the few spots with soil or what the deal was.

If you want to be shaken not stirred I guess it might be fun to ride on.

**Vinny** · 02-08-2017, 12:33 AM

A few of us helped put that down last weekend. Weather was great and it was done fairly fast (3-4 hrs) Around 15 guys helped; Kevin Schwantz was one of them.

Its rough to ride over for sure.

I'm going to try to ride there Thu. Mind hit it on Saturday.

Hey Vinny, et al...
thanks a bunch for putting down the sweat and volunteer work to do this.
It looks amazing, pro-level quality. Pojects like this is going to keep the trail accessible for everyone to enjoy.
Such a treasure to have this riding place right in the city.

**Vinny** · 02-15-2017, 04:18 PM

Going there tomorrow . Around noon I think .

tjrockit · 02-17-2017, 06:58 AM

Planning on riding Saturday morning. Probably starting between 7:00 and 7:30 am so I can head out by 10:00 if there are any early birds who want to join me.

Area is closed starting Friday afternoon for a trials bike competition.
You should still go and watch . Would that be able to ride though . Expect lots of cars and limited parking .

First opportunity to ride since my wife's surgery...

Guess I'll be staying home. Thanks for the heads up. I would have been really bummed if I got up early only to ride over there and get denied!!

tjrockit · 02-20-2017, 12:59 PM

Anyone attend the event this weekend? Any pics? Any good stories?

tjrockit · 02-24-2017, 04:54 PM

Working on a kitchen pass but currently planning on riding Saturday morning. Probably starting between 7:00 and 7:30 am so I can head out by 10:00 if there are any early birds who want to join me.

Will confirm later tonight if I can go.

tjrockit · 02-24-2017, 09:47 PM

Got pass. Will be there in the morning.

tjrockit · 02-25-2017, 06:08 AM

Not going to make it...

Sorry to hear it. I'm headed there in an hour . Still too chilly.

**StrokedNBored** · 03-03-2017, 12:16 AM

We're heading to Emma Long tomorrow at 9am if anybody wants to join.

Also - probably heading Saturday morning as well.

tjrockit · 03-04-2017, 05:58 AM

I'll be out there this morning around 7:00. Didn't want to post up until I knew I was going.

**StrokedNBored** · 03-04-2017, 07:14 AM

I'll be there between 8 and 830

Almost got discouraged from the rain but I got 3/4 of a lap in when it was raining hard enough for me to decide to go home. Glad I got out for a little bit.

**StrokedNBored** · 03-04-2017, 02:24 PM

We got 2 laps in in the rain... pretty slick out there
