1886. This is Quanah's main loop from which all other loops flow. The singletrack has everything you want and maybe a couple of things you don't--sand, rocks, climbs, descents, flat spots, straightaways, twists, turns, and roots. Lots of roots. Is a root garden a thing? Are vines a root? Don't know, but the deer are definitely a feature--and the wildflowers! Ride during the AM or PM golden hour to get that perfect pic. When you appear to be at a loop option, look up and you'll see the trail marker. Under the Texas sun, 1886 can be tiring. Paired with all the loops, and you've got a ride that has the potential to turn strenuous. Know your limit and remember what your kindergarten teacher told you: "Make good choices." If that's too difficult, then El Bandito is your kind of loop. All of the loops rejoin 1886 close to where you venture from it.

There's a good chance you'll come across a hiker or a trail runner. Your kinder teacher has more advice: "Be kind."
