Seths Pool | www.bikemojo.com<\/h3>\n

So, for those who havent heard – Team Trail Party announced yesterday that Spider Mountain in Burnet, TX (5 minutes north of RPR) will be a new riding venue, and the biggest detail here is that it is planned to have a chair lift. they will be working with the former manager\/trail developer of angelfire bike park to make this a reality. parts of the lift have already been delivered to the venue.<\/p>\n

the place has 350′ of elevation difference to work with. it will be tough to make downhill runs long enough to constitute a lift, but if done correctly, this could be something pretty cool.<\/p>\n

Chad Haga makes it to the tour too. We mustn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t forget another Alkekian from our past collegiate ranks making it to the Tour. I remember him from the SCCCC collegiate conference racing for TAMU. Good Luck Chad! https:\/\/t.co\/lWm4oR7rr1<\/a><\/p>\n
