Northshore today at 4:30. I'm outta shape as I've been dealing with multiple injuries for like 2 months now, but I'm far from slow. I got a pulled hamstring on Thanksgiving night playing football. I've been on the bike once since then. I'm ready to haul ass now.

Description
The most well-known and most used trail in the entire metroplex. This is an old motorcross trail that was first used to cycle on by Tom Deans, a long-time DORBA trail steward. This trail runs between Rockledge Park and then west, past Twin Coves Park on the north shoreline of Lake Grapevine. 9.5 miles each way for a total of 19 glorious miles of multi-terrain, multi-skill-level trail. The east side is good for intermediate riders while the west side is considerably more technical in spots. There are several "rock gardens" on this side, a real challenge to ride through. Watch out for hikers and other bikers speeding around bends. An average of 800 bikers visit per week, so be extra careful!!
