All the trail pictures I’ve found shows you that this place is rather tamed. Yes there are some smooth sections. I would like to highlight the more technical knee injury rocks! Enjoy!
The EB

Fill your plate with Austin trail goodness!
The Enchilada Buffet is the annual measuring stick for Austin mountain biking. The EB is a self supported ride covering five local trails and ~85 miles of awesome Austin biking badassness.
When: November 3rd, 2012 (Rain date 11/17/12)

There are two reasons to join this year’s bike rally. First of all it’s a great cause that provides the opportunity for ill kids to do something special and take their minds off of their struggles. Secondly, the city of McKinney rolls out the red carpet for this ride and provides a great course in the country with rolling tree line roads and lots of livestock. So it’s great for people who want to experience the countryside!
How long has the event been around?
This will be the 4th year for the event but the first year that we (McKinney Velo Club) along with the Matrix Cycling…
