    I got in a quick 11 mile ride yesterday before the rains came. It started misting/sprinkling heavy just as I finished. I was pretty happy with my pace, but still .8 mph off my usual avg.

    Northshore today at 4:30. I'm outta shape as I've been dealing with multiple injuries for like 2 months now, but I'm far from slow. I got a pulled hamstring on Thanksgiving night playing football. I've been on the bike once since then. I'm ready to haul ass now.

    Description
    The most well-known and most used trail in the entire metroplex. This is an old motorcross trail that was first used to cycle on by Tom Deans, a long-time DORBA trail steward. This trail runs between Rockledge Park and then west, past Twin Coves Park on the north shoreline of Lake Grapevine. 9.5 miles each way for a total of 19 glorious miles of multi-terrain, multi-skill-level trail. The east side is good for intermediate riders while the west side is considerably more technical in spots. There are several "rock gardens" on this side, a real challenge to ride through. Watch out for hikers and other bikers speeding around bends. An average of 800 bikers visit per week, so be extra careful!!

    The US Army Corps of Engineers have a website with information on the lake and park information.
