Come join us for a new years day ride at Flat Rock Ranch! Because FRR has trails for all skill levels this is open to all skill levels. This is an off road mountain bike trail. A few of us will be riding both loops or more but feel free to come on out and ride and much or as little as you like. We will be wheels down at noon to allow for the party animals to shake off the news years eve partying and for the weather to warm up a bit. This means that you should be arriving a little after 11:30am to give time to set up, pay and slap on some bengay. If we have enough newbies we will conduct a short shifting clinic before the ride. The day pass is $6 per person cash so be sure you have some cash on hand. You can also buy a yearly pass on Flat Rock’s website. See you soon. Contact Robert or Don on here or call Robert if you have any questions.

by Senator Eliot Shapleigh

Here is the “frontier of the future’ where North meets Southwest, where the culture, the people and the beautiful spaces are unlike any in all the rest of Texas. …

The snowed forced the arrival to Monday (instead of Saturday), then I brought the wrong drop-out with me to put on the training bike.

Had to drive over 3 hours round trip back the next day to pick up the correct drop. That was Tuesday and it was getting dark by the time I drove back…
