As riders are getting itchy to ride there’s been a number of postings on several of the FB trail groups regarding the status of DL.

Pending more repair work 6/18, 6/21 and a 6/26 Work Party, the trail will be reopened after the 6/26 work party weather permitting. Campgrounds and lake are currently open. LSHT is open, but has tree and bridge damage in the DL area.
2. A couple of weeks ago, there were discussions regarding implementing a “hard” official Forest Service closure of the DL Trails. Anyone caught on trails could be subject to a $200 fine. With the Forest Service, it is …

Bike Around La Porte!

Sylvan Beach
707 Bayshore Drive La Porte, TX

5 Cyclists Went

Just a slow, social pace ride around the more rideable areas of La Porte.
