Mountain Biking Raider Trails

****   Add a review
#71 of 279 mountain bike trails in Texas
#2,643 in the world

These trails are the result of a combined effort of volunteers and SFA University. They are approximately 8 miles long when ridden in their entirety. There are several shabby, but informative trail signs to guide new riders around. The majority is technical and tight singletrack with several ascents, descents, and quick switchbacks. Bridges have been placed in two areas on the north end of the trails. On the southern portion are more trails with the local favorite, "Scooby." Scooby is considered an advanced trail by the locals with almost a dozen good size jumps, several berms, super fast and flowy switchbacks, and even a bowl that you drop down into and shoot out the other side. Be sure and be aware for riders coming up the wrong way as this trail is extremely fast. Other trails on the network are North Loop, Gateway, Perimeter, Labyrinth, and Creekside.
