Don't think I've been out there. Well and known it anyway. Need to go look.

Scott, Daniel and I did that last year after we stopped for lunch. Some guy at the Moosehead suggested we try the roads in that direction, so I followed Scott/Daniel on a random selection. I thought there were some pretty good roads.
Do you actually ride up to the lake?

You can, but for a loop around the lake you can't. I guess that means you didn't get up there this time, eh?

This is an area where tires make a big difference. Seems like every time I've been in the group we've had a couple of riders on bigger bikes with street tires. They struggle and somebody gets their bell rung. Mirrors and clutch levers get sacrificed to the sand/mud monster. It's a wierd area of soil transition that will go from slick mud to deep dry sand in just a few yards distance. Makes no sense but it'll keep you on your toes.

Trying to balance a good dirt road tire with the daily function of a commuter bike. I Want to ride dirt but so much asphalt is the reality around here.

I saw a pdf file stating that several roads are closed in Davy Crockett forest due to Covid-19 but without looking each up on a map I don't know where they are.
Are the gravel and dirt public roads open now ?

I live near Houston county lake and will be doing some dirt roads this Sunday morning. There will be deep sand on the route. Anyone who would like to join can meet me at my place and we’ll go from there. Just pm me. All sizes of bikes welcome.

Jarrett,
Have you made it to East Texas, yet? I'm riding over Saturday morning for breakfast in Alto. You are welcome to ride along.

I have made a couple of trips out there for pavement riding, but really itching to go do some dirt there. My weekend is looking kinda iffy right now though.
The National Forests are the one thing I miss about living in East Texas. About the only thing actually. I used to take the boys from the youth group camping out there and test backpacking gear. Lots of cool little roads and swamp ponds. They were a blast to ride on a DRZ with knobbies.
