Yesterday, a visit was made to scope out the trail system at the Watson Ranch in Leander, and it just about ready to go.

This coming June will mark 2 years since AMSA was last out there at the Watson Ranch. There are some changes to that old trail system, and now there is some new stuff that was not available 2 years ago...you will enjoy the new stuff---hills, climbs and a new grass track section that is integrated into the main loop.

At this time, all the trails are ride-able but we will need to trim face-slappers, plus hang more ribbon and arrows, and uncover the kid's track.

According to Stuart Watson, the most likely available ride date will need to be either the 2nd or 3rd weekend in May.

The trails are just about ready, so now we need AMSA to approve this event.

Outstanding news. I rode out there two years ago and it was a great layout. Hopefully it can be the second weekend of May. The third weekend is a race weekend at Goertz Ranch.

May is almost gone, here's a head's up on Spoaks Motopark in Dale TX for Memorial Day weekend. A new section of grass track natural "unprepped" to the MX course will be run as an alternate route for 1/3 of a mile, 6 corners and straights under some majestic oak trees and a starting line layout. Water only on this section, come have some fun tearing up grass. Lots of new sand added to the regular line too.

Just to clarify what happened concerning a ride day in May at the Watson Ranch..... the ranch was ready, but AMSA was not ready. There was a big problem with insurance, and a small problem with scheduling. We had a scheduling window, and the new insurance was not secured in time. But we will try again in the fall, probably October, and I am confident that it will happen. In the meantime, Steve Cardwell is planning a ride day at Rusty's for July 1, the last ride day before the hot summer break, see the AMSA Facebook page for details.

Happy Trails,
