Texas Bicycling Blog and News Roundup for February 9th
Flat Rock Ranch Ride Pics – 2-8-13

Nothing better than a free day off at work. And, how to spend it? On the best singletrack in the Hill Country. We took a day off and headed out to Flat Rock Ranch to ride the lower loop (plus the extra) and ended up with 1500 feet of climbing and 16 total miles.
Crispy had to bail so he missed the great riding. Maybe next time he’ll spend a little more time on the trails and less time with his fruity apricot beer.

Riding the Trails in Kingwood TX
I took this series of video clips while riding my Motobcane 700HT mountain bike on the Kingwood Trails. This was an experiment using a new handle bar mount for a RCA video camera. The ride video is a little shaky as I hit bumps on the trails. I could probably lessen the bumps by lowering the tire pressure. The big problem is the noise from my WTB knobby tires. This buzz is from the tires.

Today's ride was a nice size. Real tough out there in the wind and sprinkles a couple times. #gofast #ridebikes #WFBC pic.twitter.com/hz63kJPu
