I keep threatening to get a road bike but I never quite pull the trigger. Too many of my local friends have had angry encounters with cars for me to get too motivated. I prefer to crash into things that are moving slower than I am! By the way, did I hear an "Oh shucks!" at the end of the video? That could be a misquote... It’s MTB all the way for me.

I was in a cold sweat. This time I avoided the movies of TKRs until AFTER the surgery, safely in the arms of Percoset. I watched three, in fact. For the curious, heres a movie.

Mr. High Plains Shifter, texas has it all: flow: walnut creek in austin, rocky hill ranch in smithville, trails of the chihuahua desert challenge in lajitas/terlingua technical: city park in austin, flat creek in comfort, hill country sna in bandera, lots of the pirate trails in austin what we don't have climbs longer than a mile... and if you are in the high plains, just go to new mexico and ride the south boundary trail - after the climb at the start it flows. nice trail, nice video…

Ahhhh...thats the icing on the cake for any MTB ride. The trick is finding a ride that combines that along with a highly techinical singletrack climb with tight switchbacks, steep pitches, rocks, roots, logs, you name it...that's is what it's all about. The perfect trail. I'd sure like to ride your "Joy" sometime Fatty...see how it ranks w/ MY Joy trails. Hopefully everybody has their own version of JOY. If not, then you need to find it! @ClydeSteve...glad to hear you are back on the bike..full knee replacement..I know it's pretty routine these days, but YIKES!!! Don't ever watch a video of that! My knees hurt just thinking about it!
