McKinney Roughs Nature Park
Sometimes we go out to ride the trails so that you don't have to - and this is a definite case. The trail is located about 30 minutes from downtown Austin and is not worth the drive. This is primarily because it is almost all jeep trails and they allow horseback riding. This tears up the trail and makes it difficult to ride.

Review: Osprey Raptor 10 Hydration Pack
I have been a longtime user of Camelbak, having owned many different models over the years. A few years back I strayed and went with an Osprey based on the rave reviews from others I ride with, but I quickly realized the shortcomings and landed back on the Camelbak bandwagon. But things have changed; I am now firmly in the Osprey camp after using the new Raptor 10 for a while.

Hobbs State Park - Rogers, AR
Hobbs is a little more out of the way than some of the other trails in Bentonville, but it is worth the drive. After riding beautifully built and groomed trails with all types of wooden features and fancy extras, it was nice to get out into a regular park and ride regular trails. The weather was a bit cold and damp but the trails held up great. Towards the end of the ride it started raining but we still managed to squeeze out a little more riding before the whole thing ended,

Coler Mountain Bike Preserve - Bentonville, AR
We hit Coler on a dark, dreary, wet day but still had a blast. Even though the trails were a bit slick, they were totally rideable with the exception of a couple spots where we had to avoid riding. The park is built around "the hub" which is a huge metal structure that serves as a starting point for a variety of trails. We rode Fire Line down and had so much fun on it that we turned around, rode it up and then took it for a second time. We also hit the trail on the north side. My only advice is don't ride "Here's Johnny" on a wet day. It feels like Rattlesnake on the BCGB trail, a little dicey when it is not perfectly dry.
