Re: Emma Long ride....
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. |

Re: Emma Long ride....
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.

Re: Emma Long ride....
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.

Re: Emma Long ride....
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.

Re: Emma Long ride....
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.
