Isle du Bois DORBA Bike Trail — Attraction in Pilot Point

We ride this trail often. Parts of the trail are fun and have a nice flow while other parts are nightmarish and seem to be contrived just to be extra tough, which is fine, but there should be alternate routes through those sections, like other trails I have ridden. The trail is divided into 5 connected loops with exits (fire roads and cement trails) at each entrance to the next loop. The entire system has a lot of rocks and most have some sandy sections. Loop A is very short and relatively easy. Loop B is a little longer and has a hill that can be a little tough. Loop C is a longer loop that has a lot of rocky climbs, lots of ups and downs, lots of small and medium sized loose rocks (I have messed up my rear derailleur multiple times on these rocky climbs), but also a couple fast sections that are a lot of fun. There's a tough sandy hill toward the end of the loop that is pretty hellish particularly if you've ridden the full trail at that point and the sand is loose. Loop D is a large loop and is the toughest section of the trail, imo, lots of rock gardens with big chunky rocks that just keep coming and coming. I personally don't enjoy much of this section of the trail, but I'm sure it's a lot of fun for riders with more advanced skill. Loop E is my favorite part, there a a few of the chunky rock gardens, but also a lot of fun flowing parts. There are a couple of sandy sections that aren't fun when it's loose. Overall, this isn't the most enjoyable trail for me, but it has helped build my skills through rocks, hills, and sand. It doesn't tend to be very busy when we ride in the evenings and the...

We road the Dorba trail, all 5 loops. This trail is rocky, loose, and a lot of climbing for this part of TX. Most of the trail is blue square with loop D being a black diamond.
