The Crews toured the Livestrong headquarters this morning. It was a cool experience all the way around.

The rain seems to follow us wherever we go and Texas was no different. We endured a long drive across the western part of the state only to arrive in soggy Austin. By the end of the week, the sun finally fought its way through the clouds. We didn’t get to build any trail on Saturday, but we did get in a ride on Sunday. I guess you take what you can get…
The group from our Trail Care Crew visit in Austin, TX. We worked with the Hill Country Conservancy, City of Sunset Valley, and others as part of the Walk for a Day project.
We found ourselves checking out a trail we designed last fall in Pace Bend Park near Austin, TX. Unfortunately, it was too wet to ride. Instead we hiked what the Austin Ridge Riders built in late 2009.
The Ridge Riders are a great example of a club that has been able to tackle multiple projects while keeping a pulse on the local issues. Through grant writing, events, and trail stewardship they are an integral part of the riding scene throughout the Austin area. We had the pleasure of meeting a few members at the Thursday night social and were impressed by their commitment to enhancing mountain biking in the community. We look forward to hearing about their work in the future.
