Dallas Trail Riding

In case you were wondering, the Dallas trail system is doing a little better than it was a few years ago. I too shed many a tear for what used to be called Tanglewood. The new trails that link up what is left of Tanglewood are a little different. No longer tangled or wooded, the clear cut trails are a far cry from the huge old growth the trail used to wind through

The loggers can cut the timber, but the trail will eventually creep its way back. These photos are from December 30th. The feeling of the new trails is a little more wasteland than lush forest. However, the present day rendition of tanglewood offers its own sense of mystery and wonder.

And thankfully, Gonzo remains undisturbed and beautiful.

For reasons I cannot go over, there will be no maps available on this uncharted system of sweet trails, just know that they are eagerly awaiting the scratch of your bicycles' knobs.
