Check out http://www.dorba.org for lists of all our trails around the Dallas Metroplex.  I’m not sure if your skill level, but the most challenging trails (IMO) on that list that I personally have ridden is Northshore (west side) and Isle Du Bois (including loops D & E).

Northshore is our most popular trail by far, though.

Big Cedar used to be a very popular trail until land ownership issues came about, now it’s not tended to very well because the land owners are cumbersome.

I hear Boulder and Cedar Hill State Park are legit, but they are pretty far south for me and I haven’t gotten a chance to ride them yet.
