Trail has a lot of loose rock and many climbs.Intermediate to expert level.There is a main green loop with four loops that spur off of it that return you back near where you start each loop.All of the loops are fairly short.There are also two red loops that spur off the green.One is fairly short the other is a long expert section known as Lone Wolf.There are several fishing trails and deer trails that cross the bike trail.ALL intersections are marked with rocks with color arrows.If you see no rock stay on the direction of the path you are taking.Exit Jacksboro highway 199 off of 820.Go East exit Roberts Cut off going South Trailhead is 2 miles down.

In the event the Dorba continues to crash I would request that people check out the Texas Forum at MTBR for updates. If you are a steward, cannot update Dorba, and know that your trail should be open or closed then please feel free to update the thread at MTBR or email me so I can update the big list.

IM me or email for my cell number if that is more convenient.
This is that time of year where we may have limited trail time due to frequent rain storms.
I will try to keep updates current on MTBR.com in the [URL="http://forums.mtbr.com/texas/dallas-ft-worth-trail-conditions-766708.html"] Texas Forum [/URL]

Not at Sansom.Wish I could say different.Northshore is open.
IS there a chance anything will be open before more rain on friday? :(
I was able to sneak in a ride before the rain yesterday. I couldn't believe all the mud still in lone wolf, mainly in the bamboo section. I don't even want to imagine how long its going to take for it too dry now. What causes though sections to stay wet for so long?
The entrance to the new extension to Lone Wolf is in the rt. hand turn @ bottom of DH section w/2 small kickers. After the rt hand turn, you cross the big drainage then start the climb up to Cahoba rd & on to 3-fer. You'll need to stop & ease thru the tree gate next to the rt hand turn. As it is now, you can do an out & back w/loop @ the end. As mentioned, it is not officially open, but feel free to check it out.
Enjoy!

Can anyone tell me where the trailhead and parking is located for the Cahoba trail. Or the entrances are.

What we are working on now is going to be alot of work but will be great.Looks like with this rain I will have some time to work on it.
The new trail section at the bottom of cahoba is looking nice!
Yes it is! I've got about 4 laps on it. Adds some nice extra miles there at the end.
Good job!
Sansom will have a workday Sun 2-26 at 9am.Drive down Cahoba till you see cars.
