Your Texas Mountain Bike Resource
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!!
On June 1st, MountainBikeTx.com turned the big 1-year old!
Thanks to all of you for making us your #1 Texas mountain bike resource!!
~ MountainBikeTx.com
Texas is arguably the greatest state in the U.S. when it comes to mountain
biking. Perhaps Texas doesn't offer anything as epic as Moab, or as classic
as Crested Butte;
however,
when a single state offers the diversity of Texas...well, you be the judge.
From sandy beaches with nearby crashing surf, to true mountain descents amid large desert lizards; singletrack laced with an intricate web of slick roots as you barely scrape by an unforgiving hardwood, to singletrack covered by so many loose rocks that you struggle to keep your rear tire from losing its grip as your legs curse at your desire to reach the next crest.
This is Texas mountain biking, and you wouldn't want it any other way.
