What’s the payment to dirt ratio like on this one? Also, how many miles is it?
What’s route is this?
Dual sport loop, as for as ratio a lot of unpaved roads mostly. 60 to 70%!!
Looks fun. I’ll be doing it soon on my 450 EXC.
That's the Fayetteville loop based off the creek crossing area pictured.
Is there a GPX available for this?
It's in my Dropbox. Link in post 49.
Thanks!

Search Cheeseburger and Groveton for rides out of New Waverly. This time of year Cheeseburger would be easier. Groveton can be very sandy.
Post #49 in this thread had a link to my GPX track collection. There's a few in there you could look at.
I've done Cheesburguer twice, it was a 5-6 hour ordeal for me. Looking for something shorter.

I just do what I have time for and cut out. What are you riding?
1250 BMW GSA. Yeah, considering the options, I might as well just do what I can and cut back.
I have never ridden a motorcycle before but would like to learn and do small offroad ride in woodlands or northwest houston if there’s a place to. I bought an enduro bike and it does not have texas plates yet for onroad but should be good for offroad riding. I live in northwest houston, cypress area and would be happy to meet anyone who can show me the ropes and start off on some small off road rides.
Unfortunately there's very little off-road riding available. 3 Palms has a little bit of trails in addition to their motocross tracks. I think Rio Bravo does too. There's also the SHNF multi use trails. We mostly ride street legal bikes on unpaved county roads around here because it's what's available.
Welcome, you are going to have fun. I would start with a MSF Basic Rider Course. They should provide a motorcycle for you to ride (I have never taken this course because I have been licensed since the late '80s (scary)). This should start you on the basics of motorcycle operations plus you will need this to get your motorcycle endorsement on your drivers license.

Whatever is open. The trails coalition is constantly working to undo damage done by heavy rains. Be sure to check the trail status before you go. I also recommend bringing a friend in case you need help.

There's 4 trailheads and not a lot of difference. Some loops shorter than others. Trails are 2 way, so can always uturn and go back. Biggest thing is SAND. All have it sooner or later. General consensus is Kelly Pond trailhead best for beginners.

Sam Houston NF
I have been in contact with friends in Cali, Arkansas, Arizona and Idaho and they ALL say the public lands are OPEN for riding. What is the current status of the Sam H?
Thank you.
