There is no sand, which is good, no water crossings, which is not good, and a different feature for a trail - open field riding. A good portion of the trail is out in the fields which is OK just different. It almost has the feel of cross country rather than mountain bike dirt trail.

The trail does have some nice features and I have tried to capture them in my photo's. Also, work continues on upgrading the trail as you can see from the pics. Bottom line - Erwin won't be high on my list of places to revisit.

In keeping with the Et Al title of this blog I'm happy to announce I have purchased a new tv. It is a serious TV - a 63 inch plasma. If you are interested in the selection process I went through drop me a line.

This trail is actually 8.1 miles and takes me about 50 minutes to an hour to finish on my singlespeed. While I have to agree with you that it's not the best trail in the area, it's certainly better than others like L.B Houston and Frisco Community Trail. It's more technical than River Legacy, it's just not a fast, flowy trail which is a turnoff to some people. I have had to true my tires every time went out there the first couple of times because of all the roots, but as I learn the trail better I'm having to that less and less. The positives about this trail are that if this is your local trail, it doesn't take a whole lot of time to do and it's a good trail to ride during the week because of that.
