Next Thursday we will meet at Walnut Creek at 6:00pm for a short
trail run followed by a bike ride leaving at 6:30pm. Helmets are
required. There will be a beginner group and an advanced group so
everyone is welcome! Pool parking lot.

Directions: Located in North Austin, just off IH-35, the trails at
Walnut Creek Park are easily accessible from all parts of the city.
To get there, go north on either IH-35 or Mopac Expressway and exit
onto Parmer Lane. Take Parmer east from Mopac, or west from the
Interstate to N. Lamar Blvd. Go south on Lamar for about a half-
mile, looking for the park sign on your right.

Trail Description: The main trailhead is near the first parking area
on the left, near the swimming pool. This 12+ mile network of trails
is over 90% twisty singletrack, with a few jumps, downhills, and
creek crossings thrown in. This is a work-in-progress with many new
sections added. If you ride here check out anything that looks new,
because it's all pretty sweet, thanks largely to the efforts of one
guy, Mark Henneke, who has single-handedly built and cleaned up a
lot of these trails. At first the trails seem like a maze with no
flow, but after riding them a couple of times you find the loops and
it's possible to do about 12 miles of continuous trail. Be careful
until you learn the trails, as there are 2 or 3 places where
unrideable dips can sneak up on you.

Fee:No Fee for this public access trail.
