today was just a playride kind of day. took the kids with us to a place we had heard of but had never been. $10 bucks each got us 2000acres to ride on. it is on the twin cove ranch just outside of bridgeport, tx. lots of elevation changes for texas anyway. river bottom to the top of some pretty gnarly hills. lots of arrowed trails. they told us if you did the whole thing it would be twenty miles. this place is maybe 45miles from dallas and there were maybe 30 bikes on the whole place. needless to say it was great. huge grass field (100 acres plus) for kiddos to ride around. i couldnt believe that there were so few people. oh yeah if you live in the dallas metro and have a trials bike, this is a great place to ride. the trails were varied. down by the river they were sandy (not deep) and as you came out of the bottom there was some black dirt and as you got to the hills they were rocky and technical. the rocks werent huge but you had to pick a line. all in all a great day and a new place to go. anybody else been there?

Sounds like we need to get a new club started. Maybe get the Jimmy Jack replaced by the Twin Cove?
It's really 2000 acres? Any contact names or numbers you can post?
Thanks!

yea I've been there, its actually pretty cool. That field down there with the outhouses there were a bunch of cows. Talk about funny. Came araound a corner and was face to face with 2000lbs of ground beef. We had a blast! I'd like to get out there again sometime. We went during the week and saw 1 other bike.

Yep. That is Twin Hills Cycle Ranch. Been there myself and it is a good place to take the whole famil because it does have wide open areas for the kids to play around!

I Love riding there and go every chance I get. Be careful though, sometimes they switch directions with the arrows, and what you thought was the right way is wrong.

yall are right about twin hills (not twin coves)

but the fee is $10 bucks per bike now instead of eight.

TX246, you need to get something organized and post it for the Heartland Spodes to see. Several of us are going to Amarillo in March. Should be a pretty cool trip.
