    The bike, “broke?”  Can you elaborate before misleading with vague comments?

    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.

    I was in the same boat as you.  SeaSucker is the thing you should look into.  Like everyone initially, I was skeptical of how well it really worked.  I took my wifes Murano on a 10 hour drive from Dallas to ABQ with our two bikes mounted to the roof of her car, going 85 MPH with 40 MPH crosswinds.  The SeaSucker never lost suction.  That was the ultimate test for me…the thing is great.

    However, the thing sucks (no pen indended) if you have a 15MM thru axle front fork rather than the 9mm quick release.  It’s just a huge pain in the ass to mount the 15MM fork on there compared to the 9MM QR.

    I have their “Mini-Bomber” model.
