And, they're off!

Sweet pics from today's class!!

Someone *really* likes orange!!

Thanks for the contribution, norton55. That looks like a really fun rock garden to play on.

Nice! I see from your profile that your'e in Texas. The photos made me think of Australia for some reason. Either way, looks like fun!

Ah, to have dry rocks and dirt to play on... Thanks for the morning passion hit, Scorpionwoman!

well well...very nice. Wonder where this "walnut creek" is?

i see that bike mag did a story on the trails in and around austin.
looks like austin is the best of both worlds.

Free racing advice

paraphrased from Ned Overend a few years back in a mag somewhere:

...when asked how he consistently beat the other racers, he said: " Just mash down harder on the pedals".

He was kidding of course, but I always liked it. However, when I put it into practice for the Test of Metal, my only race, I came in DFL. *sigh* A racer I'm not.

Good luck with your 'mashing', Jim

you all kill it i love it

Just make sure.....

Diversions are fun!

JMac47, I must admit that my first response to your question was that Austin is on a whole other planet than Plano.

But to answer your question, I ride mostly on trails right in Austin, so it's a 3 to 3 1/2 hour trip down I35 from you.

Norton55: Is that Rockville or Annadel? It looks very familiar.

....no no. But I could relocate if there's alot of building going on out there. Things are slooow here in CA.

Anyway, I've been corresponding with someone in Plano who's getting into mtb and I was wondering about how close the trails you ride were. I was too lazy to do a google and zero in on the 2 areas to see proximity to each other..

Thanks
