Woodlands to partner with GHORBA for new off-road bike trail in Creekside Park<\/a><\/h2>\n

By Jeff Forward | www.chron.com<\/h3>\n

\"\"\/<\/p>\n

Local and regional off-road and mountain biking enthusiasts will be able to use a new trail in 2020 in The Woodlands as plans for a 3-mile multi-use connector trail are being worked on in a collaborative effort between The Woodlands Township Parks and Recreation Department and the Greater Houston Off-Road Biking Association, which is also known as GHORBA.<\/p>\n

El Rancho Cima<\/a><\/h2>\n

By notyal | austinmountainbiking.com<\/h3>\n

Tonight, I attended a public meeting for El Rancho Cima, the former Boy Scout camp on the Devil’s Backbone between San Marcos, Wimberley, and Canyon Lake. There is a very promising opportunity for Hays County to purchase a 500+ acre tract of the property for a public park with access to the Blanco River. Other than the riverfront, which would be open to public swimming (by reservation only), the other 500+ acres would be set aside for conservancy habit for Golden Cheeked Warblers with limited trail access on the existing Boy Scout trails during non-mating season. Unfortunately, everyone I spoke with at the meeting, including the woman who presented the master plan for the property, were less than open to the idea of allowing single track to be built in the park.<\/p>\n

I’m not going to preach to the choir here about …<\/p>\n

7 Reasons Why I Didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t Do a Charity Bike Ride This Year<\/a><\/h2>\n

A DUDE ABIKES | adudeabikes.com<\/h3>\n

We like to try to keep things positive here at A Dude Abikes. And by we, I mean me. There is plenty of negativity in the news these days, what with that \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You Crane\u00e2\u20ac\u009d issue. (At least it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not a Me Crane.) And sure, I gripe about my fitness level or other health issues, loss of my lighter bike Sookie, and so on. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get me wrong: The rides are all great events and causes which I still support. Make no mistake, my credentials are well-established. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve done six rides (three breast cancers, two AIDS and one MS) \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and raised over $12,000 in the process. So forgive me if in this post if I get into a wee bit of real-ness about …<\/p>\n
