Another brutal winter day here in Central Texas; 75º and sunny, so why not grab the bike and hit the trails? Today was another trip to Reveille Peak Ranch outside of Burnet, Texas. We’d been there before and had a good time, it’s a good place to ride.
It was a nice morning, perfect for riding. Rode out from the pavilion and went through the gate to the Race Loop/RPR trailhead
Started out on Reveille Peak Ranch(RPR) Trail and headed up to Decision Point on the Decision Point Trail
On the way, I stopped to play around a bit on one of the many rock sections
There a lot of trail options here; doubletrack, flowing singletrack, technical rock riding and extremely demanding and advanced technical singletrack trail riding
One thing for sure about this place; when the trail is marked “Very Difficult”, they mean it. There are many technical sections that will max out your bike and your riding abilities. Many of the trails start out looking pretty easy, like this section of the Race Loop Trail
Before you know it, the trail turns into gnarly rock gardens and rock sections
It’s easy to lose control on the twisty, narrow, rocky sections of singletrack. You think you can make it, the next thing you know, you are lying in a pile of rocks. Falling on rocks does not feel that great, no need to ask how I know that. Just take it easy on those “Very Difficult” trails and you’ll be fine.
I’ve got a bunch of video from riding at Reveille Peak Ranch and Walnut Creek, I’ll try to get it edited and on the WatermanAtWork.com website, along with more photos, as soon as possible.
I subscribed to your blog when we moved to Oregon from Texas in August. Amusing to see that you’re now in Texas.
Kind of tough finding work in the Gorge, had to come here to Austin for work. These days, a lot of times you have to do what you need to do, not what you want to do.
