2013-08-25 Greenbelt Trail

I had a long write-up, but FF and Strava conspired against me to eat it. I rode the Greenbelt trail from Hwy 380 up to FM428. From there, I got confused, and took the equestrian trail. It sucked. Several hoof-traps, silt traps, spider web traps, and kamikazi crickets. Then, at about H8.5, AREA CLOSED! The trail was blocked by a quadrilateral of sawn trees, and a new-ish fence. Trying to get across to the hike/bike trail, I found an ancient bridge that wasn't a bridge, and steep banks, but no way across. Doubled back, and took the trail. I wish I'd had wider tires and suspension, because the bike trail from FM428 to FM455 was a bit rough for 32mm tires. The ride had a lot of stops, and was much more challenging/tiring than I'd expected, but it was fun to explore.
