\nHello all,
\nEveryone is invited to come join the Hammerhead crew for the Austin launch of the new Thumper 130mm travel FS bike! This event will take place at the Thumper trail…of course! It will take place at the house of Bill, the trail’s founder, who’s backyard accesses the trail directly. There will be BBQ, beer and half a dozen Thumper demo bikes to ride on a pre-set short-loop on Thumper. Bill’s house is in a culdesac off Yaupon and it perfect for this kind of event. Feel free to bring the kids and the family, the backyard has a pool too. …<\/p>\n

\nPedal Pushers
\nThere will be a temporary gap in postings. Saturday before last, we went to Pineywoods Purgatory and had a great ride. I had some of the pictures lined up for the write-up and was going to post it last Monday after our routine Monday Group Ride.<\/p>\n
