Nice shot...looks like spots here where the trails are done in the old mining pits. Was the total 6 mile run like that or changed through out the distance.
Relax and have deep water thoughts.

I pulled out the Dos Equis XX Team today for a little ride at the Sunset Valley greenbelt. I had a couple of issues. The steering was a little crooked, rear brake cable was a little tight, and my seat post inched down during the ride, Dang, I need one of those multi-tools. Maybe Santa will put one in my stocking.

I rode the A2R this weekend at the Greenbelt near the house. At one point I stopped to take a wiz deep in the woods, and spotted this peeper with binoc's checking me out.. Whatever..

See what kind of attention you generate when you wear tight shiny spandex... not just the ladies that love it! You should have spun around and showed him the double moons over Austin.

We had a similar experience on a small group ride but this guy was using a camera, we played it cool after we spotted him and casually rode off, then we broke hard straight at him. The creeper ducked in the shrubs and wouldn't come out. My buddy was giving him some lip, "C'mon man, we know you're in there... if not we're coming in after you!" He still refused and play 'possum. We start rattling his sanctuary and the fool starts crying and screaming for us to go away. It was sort of sick in a pathetic way, small little man!!!

I had shipped one of my Schwinn's to my parents house in Center TX last month. I have been in Center all this week cutting trails in the greenbelt behind their house. Dang.. Ten times more difficult than cutting the trails in Austin. Lots of under growth. But when I finish, will be a cool place to ride when I come to visit.
Center is in the heart of the piney woods in East TX. Surrounded by the Davy Crockett National Forrest.

Here is what this East Texas stuff looks like.. Pine trees and pungie sticks. Lots of red clay, some gentle hills and lots of creeks to traverse.
