Pedernales Falls State Park Biking Experience

Today had a great bike ride in one of the great parks within easy reach of Austin.  That was Pedernales Falls State Park.  The weather was nice eventough there was a mix of drizzle and rain through some of the time.  But the sporadik rain made for cooler weather and of course somewhat messy trails.  Now, first a view of the map — where in the world is this park:

Next, let's take a look at some photos — the bike trails end up in some pretty scenic areas both on the trails and near by — i.e the Pedernales river falls.   Take a look:

Then, I was also able to use again my newly acquired Runtastic Pro bike application on my iPhone.  Here is the output from what the application captured of our bike ride:

Overall the park offers very good doubletrack trails with some pretty steep spots where you can surely pick up great speed or have to walk them due to lose gravel.  Most of the trails at least in the spring are covered with nice soft red dirt and in some places you have to deal with the usual crushed stone.  Overall a good set of trails.
