\nI\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve spent the last few months really thinking about the brand behind Texas Mountain Bike Trails.
\nWhat do I want it to be.
\nWhat direction do I want the website to take.
\nWhat do my races stand for and what is their purpose.
\nBut most importantly to me.
\nHow do I want to impact the lives of readers (and locals) with what I provide.
\nAnd despite spending months of time thinking about it I still don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know exactly the right answer.
\nBut, I do have a better idea and I know that at it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s core the brand revolves around the three E\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s of XC.
\nThe Three E\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s of XC
\nWhat is TXMTBThe three E\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s is something that has kind of grown on me while thinking about this question and it stands for the three things I hope to provide. …<\/p>\n

\nIt rained again this year but was only cloudy on Saturday. However, I didn’t want to go to the staging area at the Prude Ranch and park and walk around in the mud. So Christine and I started from the Limpia Hotel where we were staying. Not too far out of town the scenery begins. Ergo, the 75 mile Fort Davis Scenic Loop. …<\/p>\n
