Anyone in the fort hood area want to ride with me?
If you are looking for someone to ride with or already have a group and are willing to let me tag along let me know. I've been riding a few years and am an intermediate level rider.I've been here for a while and used to have some riding buddies but they have all moved this last winter.

I live in the Killeen area. I have not ridden BLORA or Dana Peak but have been meaning to get out to those trails. I have ridden Parrie Haynes and Reveille Peak Ranch. Depending on day and time i may be down to ride.

I've ridden blora a few times, not really a fan of it. I'm usually at dana peak a few times a week. My schedule is pretty flexible, just let me know a good time for you and we can meet up.

I know this is a old post but I will be coming back to the Fort Hood area this January. Any of you still around the hood area. Looking forward to getting back to riding Texas trails...

Yep still here. I'm pretty outta shape since surgery earlier this year but I'm always down to ride as long as you don't mind my slow azz.

I remembered Dana Peak being fun, Belton outdoor recreation wasn't constructed when I was there, at least not the way that it is now. When I get there in January I am definitely going to Reveille Peak Ranch in Burnet, Texas.

Ft. Hood is my next duty station. Im headed up there december 20th and should have my bike shipped to me a few days after once I'm settled in. I'll chime in again once Im there and ready to ride. How far are the nearest/best trails to Ft. Hood?

Both Dana Peak and Fort Hood Outdoor Rec area are about 14 miles from Hood.

I know Reveille Peak Ranch is further out but how is it? On their website It says they've got a flow trail. Is that still up and running?

Haven't ever been but everybody(on the forums at least) raves about it like it's a must ride, so I have to go and see for myself. I've seen a few videos of it, looks like pretty good riding. I'll go for sure at least once... sounds like a good road trip for Saturday or Sunday.

I haven't made my way out to reveille but definitely want to. The furthest I've ventured from here is the goodwater loop around lake georgetown and that trail has almost no flow and is rough on the body with how rocky it is. For some reason I still get a wild hair and hit it a couple times a year just cuz.

The goodwater loop at lake Georgetown is my "home" trail. It is rough out there but I figured if I can ride that trail, I can ride any in the area. I like going to walnut creek to get my flow fix though.

My son has just got stationed at Ft Hood.
He's a mechanic with the 2-227th Aviation Regiment, 1ACB.
I dismantled and packed up his 2010 Specialized Rockhopper to be shipped to some friends off base.


Would anyone be interested in helping him get it back together.
I took off the pedals, removed the handle bar from the stem, unbolted the rear derailleur and hanger, deflated the tubes and removed the tires and tubes from the rims.
WTB steel bead 2.4 tires with thick tubes, the rear wheel can be difficult getting on and off due to the rim brakes and, wide tire while working the chain around the cassette
.
Removed the seat and seat post. then wiped off the grease from the post.
The only tools needed is a 15mm wrench and 6mm, 5mm and 4mm allen wrenches and a little grease.
Send me a message if interested and I'll pass the info on to my son.
Thanks in advance!!

I can help him if he needs, but I willing to bet that someone in his unit has the tools needed to put the bike back together. Just have him ask someone, if not just PM me.
