Lost Loop is a fantastic hand cut Singletrack trail and can be ridden in both directions, however most usually ride it counter clockwise. Physically challenging as it has plenty of short punchy climbs mixed in with some small chunky rocks. A few Rocky tech areas, with one expert level downhill run…but this also has a bypass for less advanced riders. A favorite loop which should be included in your ride

      From Cedar Bayou Trail Head it is about a mile to Lost Loop & Found Loop. Nice sign at the Intersection

      Giving the nap there’s no good way to get here no more they built houses at every good entrance

      Great Intermediate Loop. Will feel more like twice the mileage unless you’re a strong rider. Take Found Loop to add another tough mile.
