If variety is the spice of life, then Loop 7 is bringing some flavor to your RCP spin. Venture under Centerville Road and pedal to the left. From there, you'll find off-camber sections, roots, root drops, a brief climb or two, a descent or three, cement as rocks to overcome, a boardwalk...there's even a bamboo forest! What does this loop not have? Well, there's no opportunity to buy elotes, if you're needing a snack. Instead, enjoy the sights and smells of the draw as water flows towards Rowlett Creek.
