Once a month or so, Camp Eagle – Real is open to the public for both biking and climbing.\u00c2\u00a0 If you haven’t had a chance to make it out here, it’s a good trail (and it is often a race destination if that tells you a bit about what the riding is like.)

For the first time, the event will feature two connecting loops \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the standard Flat Creek race loop (7 miles), and the newly constructed Pedernales Falls State Park Loop (9.5 miles)! You will not need to ride on the road, as the two properties are adjoining and the gate between them will be open.<\/p>\n

This will be a great opportunity to ride on both properties and experience an event that might be a once in a lifetime occurrence.<\/p>\n

\nIf you’re looking for an awesome mountain bike ride through the Houston forest, look no further than Memorial Park Trails. This gorgeous, heavily forested park is like a leafy oasis surrounded by the concrete jungle of Houston.
\nComplete with some easy areas, mid-level sections as well as some expert-level zones, this 6-mile long trail has something for mountain bikers of all skill levels. Unlike many other bike paths in the Houston area, this relatively hilly trail includes plenty of twists and turns and also crosses over creeks and …<\/p>\n

Mid-Season Report \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Sandbagger\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Ball, part deux: Ladies\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Night<\/a><\/h2>\n

Yeah. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a few beers in to the evening and have blown off whatever the hell else it is we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re supposed to be doing (like this week\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s race previews) to bring you the women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s edition of the Sandbagger\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Ball.
\nTo get an idea of the rules and regulations regarding upgrades, check out last week\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s report on the men too scared to put in for the upgrade.
\nEditors note: Unbeknownst to us, Ray Frias actually requested and got his cat 3 upgrade the day prior to our last article. Not that we would have cared had we known. And Cassidy Keleand? After winning in Georgetown and then winning Day 1 at CX7s, what did he do on day two? Raced the 3\/4 on Sunday. Ouch.
\nWe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re looking at a handful of the top ranked women racers in Texas as well as a few other well known names. If we leave someone out that you love dearly, or that is a total sandbagger, let us know! We probably won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do anything about …<\/p>\n
