\nHi All,
\nI just moved to Houston from the SF Bay Area and I am used to really great trails from every angle. I am mostly a XC rider, but used to lots of climbing and nice technical challenges. I have two custom bikes – a SS, rigid 29er and hard tail 29er. I am a very experienced rider\/racer.<\/p>\n

Where should I go around here? I live in Northside Village (off either 45 or 59). I don’t mind a 45-60 min drive. I have seen list of places on the forums here, but I am not sure which one will be the best for me to start with. …<\/p>\n

Tim’s Midlothian Mystery Tour<\/strong><\/span><\/a>
\nLone Star Cyclists
\nPace: Touring
\nDate: Saturday, June 30, 2012 – 8:00am
\nLocation: Midlothian Police Station, 101 West Avenue F
\nThe Midlothian Police Station is located just east of the intersection of North 8th Street and West Avenue F (look for the “Cement Capital of the World” sign!)<\/p>\n

Distances: 40+ and 60+
\nMosey on down to Midlothian for a mystery tour on routes of 40+ and 60+ miles. Tim isn’t talking, but soon we’ll know which of the great roads that lead out of Midlothian he will be taking us on. Plan on eating someplace that offers chicken enchiladas after the ride, too. That’s our ride leader’s preferred post-ride meal \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
