GFisher Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 I will be there for a conference and will have some time to ride. Things could be wet and I don't expect much dries quickly so may be doing urban mostly. I have never ridden there. I will be next to Memorial Park so will hit that if I can, and maybe the Anthills (two trails I have known about forever). Any other in-town stuff make the top of the list? Cypress? I have one full day and it might be dry enough to hit either Huntsville State Park or Double Lake, any recommendations for one over the other? Any urban/fun routes? Looks like a lot of pathways that link up various parks. Thanks for any suggestions. There are plenty of breweries so I have that going for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have my deepest sympathies. Agreed there are a few really good breweries that'll help to numb the pain.

AustinBike Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Having lived there 25 years ago I can say that there were few, if any, places to mountain bike when I was there. Luckily, since that time, <checks notes>, nope, still not happening. I'd bring an urban bike and hit the town. There are plenty of places for urban riding, with plenty of breweries to visit.

Barry Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 (edited) Well gee, I don't know fellas. Trailforks showes an absolute shit-ton of trails. Not as much ar ATX or DFW, but more than San Antonio. And it's almost inevitable that when folks don't have technical terrain, they add fun little Technical Trail Features. Personally I enjoyed the Sugar Land Brazos river area trails. Unlike me you probably want to stay north of the river. But you'll find fun trails, lots of jumps and a few TTFs. I've also enjoyed the Sam Houston Nat'l Forest area...but it's probably better if you're into the gravel with added singletrack thing. Although if you just want to get your hammer on, Double Lake is twisty pine forest fun. Edited March 10, 2022 by Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zander Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Jack Brooks - south of town. Short loop but trails are super fun. Maybe 6 miles in total but it's twisty and has some "tech" sections due to roots. I'd go there over Memorial or AntHills based on having ridden them all before. Huntsville SP is fun too. Lots of pine trees, roots and sand. Fun but nothing super challenging. The park is pretty too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree Magnet Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Jack Brooks is also meh. I hear that there are some cool trails going in around Cypress. Of course, don't expect rocks or elevation but with enough energy and vision, good trails can be built pretty much anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
