The sign stating "No Bicycles" has been removed and replaced with another. The only thing pertaining to bicycles is a sign saying to stay on the trails. I've got pics & video to upload. ANYONE of any ability can ride these trails! Even Non-Mountain Bikers.
Jones Loop takes you down by a small stream which empties into Shoal Creek. You can even ride down to Shoal Creek and take a dip. There are benches for you to relax on and the whole place has very good signage, so it's no problem finding your way back to the car.
Will be riding Thursday @ 6:00 pm if anyone wants to join in the fun.
Happy Trails |

An excerpt By Jim Langley
I get more questions about bicycle noises than just about anything else. Understandably, noises drive cyclists nuts. To help, I’ve put together the following guide organized by bike-noise category.
Please keep in mind that one person’s click is the next person’s creak, so I recommend perusing the entire list to find your problem and a solution.
Ideally, this guide would be short and easy to follow, yet there are lots of noises you might encounter and to keep this comprehensive, I keep adding to it. To make it a little easier to find things, noise causers and problems are underlined and the recommended solutions are in red bold.
TIP: Most browsers have a Find function. For example, in Internet Explorer, click Edit and then Find (on this page), type the word or phrase that defines your bicycle noise, then press Enter, and Explorer will find it on this page. You can also search for the bicycle component you think is making the noise, for example, bottom bracket, pedals, wheels, etc.
Also, please let me know if you’ve discovered a new noise or solution, too, and I’ll use them to improve this page (jump to readers' noises and solutions). Many thanks to my regular readers, the readers of RoadBikeRider, and ace mechanic Anthony Alsberg who have offered many excellent noises and cures, and helped ensure that every ride is a quiet ride!
Before jumping into the noises and solutions, a good starting point with all bike noises is isolating where it’s coming from by substituting different parts. For example, if you think the noise is coming from a wheel, install a different one (ask to borrow a friend’s if you don’t have a spare) and see if the noise goes away. If so, you know your noise is wheel related, which will make it much easier to find it. You can use the same technique with any part that can be replaced, such as your pedals, shoes, seat and post, handlebars and stem (a tough one, but possible), and so on.
