Greater Houston Off-Road Biking Association (GHORBA)—Double Lake Recreation Area Trail Expansion

GHORBA is one of six recipients.

The Greater Houston Off-Road Biking Association (GHORBA) will receive $10,000 to help expand the mountain bike trail system at Double Lake Recreation Area, one hour north of Houston, Texas. The grant will enable GHORBA, an all-volunteer group, to speed trail construction by hiring professional trail builders, helping meet the increasing demand for mountain bike trails in the area. Bikes Belong’s funding will serve as a match for a Recreational Trails Program grant.
