DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

oh man i should have waited to ask, i havent ridden mtb in years and just got back on this thing. Horsehoe was the place i rode the most, i was never up to speed at more technical trails but ive ridden northshore, sansom park and knob hills at least once

 

I'm looking forward to my first trip to Horseshoe. This is my new to me bike I got last week. Hadn't ridden a bike in about 20 years, but done about 50 pavement miles and some of River Legacy since getting it.

 

I'm in south ft worth so I usually ride sansom gateway burleson river legacy sometimes northshore.

 

never ridden gateway but i hear is worthy of checking out

 

They have done ALOT of work. Lots of wood features. Jumps/ drops etc! It's fun!

 

Man, I have a 20 year old full suspension that needs to have the dust knocked off of it. I think I only took it out twice last year.

 

would you rate it beginner, intermediate or expert? do expert sections have bypasses?

 

Everything has a bypass. The west side of gateway is more fast flowy with wood features. The east side its more climbing and techy but I like it! Nothing out there is too crazy

 

sweet! def gonna have to check it out, i have old fragile bones so bypasses are my friends

 

I need to try that one again. I have heard great things about it, I wanted to do a west to east loop, got lost the last time, and went riding through a homeless camp. Oops.

 

hah yeah.. the area isnt the best

Maybe ill set up a TW ride one day.

We had one schedule before along with a cookout by the lake but we all ended stuffing our faces and no mtb tires touched the ground... bad part is we were about 200 feet from the trailhead the whole time

 

The homeless camps are gone now!!!!

 

I'm in

 

Y’all ride first and me & Jared have lunch ready when y’all get back

 

Sure, my fat ass isn't afraid of embarrassing myself in front of y'all. I'm down.

 

I’d be down for a MTB ride. Also, whoever needed apt recs. I haven’t apt shopped in 3 years so I’m no help. I live in a house now. The only garage will be hard to achieve with that budget in the 30min window. The area @Suprajim54 mentioned is a nice area and a solid option

 

Can’t be riding with smoke rolling in the face, though. Have to make some mods to move the pit behind you

 

Don’t want no hot azz either
