Today I ventured out to the Northshore (of Grapevine Lake) to ride the first 2 loops of the 7 loop trail system. The first two loops are approximately 3 miles each, with the full loop system if ridden being approximately 22 miles.

Overall the ride was challenging with its techy climbs and the occasional flowy downhill into tech or drop features. I was able to ride the majority of the drops and features withholding ‘Nope Hill’ and ‘THE DROP’…next time though.

This is probably the best all around XC style trail I’ve ridden in Texas so far (keep in mind I’ve only lived here for several months so far).
