Shop and Bake – Reprise MTB – Sweet Spot on Lime Creek then some Brushy Creek CHUNK Austin, Texas

Took the MTB today. Workout was 9x5min Sweet Spot. Took it easy Z2 to Lime Creek then started efforts. BUT then got a pop up that the derailleur battery was low so had to conserve shifts!! Picked 34:18 which let me ride the ups at target power then would ride the brakes on the descents to not spin out. Knocked those out then headed to Brushy Creek to explore. CHUNK!!! OMG! Burned a few shifts and got to 34:20 but still ended up walking a few steep ones, leg’s top end not there. LOTS of fun looking enduro lines! Road a few but backed off as I was toast at this point and didn’t want any bloody knees.
Back in the road/hike-n-bike for the 15mi ride back to Domain at 34:16.
Got to meet Buc-ee on the way home!!

Board exam studying has kept me off the bike this summer, and it shows! Couldn’t pass up the opportunity to ride with my dad on these beautiful country roads. Back to training in mid-August. (“Stand Up” | Jethro Tull, 1969)

‘Like Texas’ Appalachian trail’ — Great Springs Project working to connect Austin and San Antonio
By Jack Morgan | www.tpr.org
It’s a transformative project so big it’ll stretch all the way from Austin to San Antonio. But it won’t be powered by gasoline or run on rails. And to traverse it, it’s your feet that will do most of the work.
It’s called the Great Springs Project, a 110 mile trail that will start at Barton Springs in Austin and will go on to San Marcos Springs, then on to Comal in New Braunfels and then at the Blue Hole in San Antonio.
While each of those Springs are located in cities, that trail’s primary path will run in the …

Charges should be more than stop & rendered aid! Too many ppl getting slaps on the wrist for fatally hitting pedestrians & cyclists. @COSAGOV #sapd https://t.co/21650dbdlB
