Cedar Hill State Park

After reading some about this trail I decided to ride it...have rode it four times in the last month or so..did the 12 mile loop yesterday in an hour and half...the trail is not technical and has a lot of small climbs mixed into the switch backs..some of these go on for a bit..it is one of the trails around here that you can actually get some speed up on and maintain it...it was cooler yesterday so that did help..I have no doubt that in the summer this trail can be brutal..because it is not so technical you mat find yourself ripping it at the start and before you know it your in it deep and toasted with a long way to go before the end..unlike say Isle Du Bois where we will stop and take breaks sometimes before the real rough stuff.

DurtNurds

So the idea for DurtNurds came about basically as a joke. A few of us had just ridden a trail and met some other dudes ridding..as we tried to talk with them we realized they seemed to be judging us based on our gear, dress, and our apparent overall appearance. As they rode off I told a buddy...wow we are outcast among other Mountain Bikers. So I coined the term that we where DurtNurds..it kinda stuck..so we decided we may form a bike club called DurtNurds..I belonged to a bike team here years ago that seemed to have a lot of elitist attitude in it and it began to turn me off of cycling..I left the club after a few bad experiences and flew solo...while going solo had its advantages I realized a few things about this sport...there are people out there that want and have the desire to ride...but do not know where to began..and because of the fear of being judged..or intimidation..that spark dies out...Welcome to DurtNurds..if you stumble across this blog..and want to ride, live in North Texas..follow, contact..and come ride with us sometime, hang out, talk bikes and stuff..and be yourself and have fun.
