The family riding community at the GHORBA trail systems.
GnarKids of the Houston Area Mountain Bike Trails was founded in 2022 at the Cypresswood Trails and The Anthills by a large group of inspired parents and kids. Our vision is an active family riding community at each GHORBA trail system who gathers for regularly scheduled rides and trail work. Our mission is to support young and new riders and their parents to gain confidence, friendship, safety, and knowledge of our trails and how to care for them. We believe the sport and community of mountain biking leads to happier and healthier families. For those who are interested, we provide opportunities to develop more advanced mountain biking skills and help families connect with our vibrant local racing community
Join us for regular group rides on our favorite local trails. These rides are a great way to get to know other families, improve your skills, and enjoy the beauty of our local surroundings.
We try to maintain various speed groups, depending on amount of volunteers. Anthills has weekly rides in the summer, from Spring Break till Halloween, on Monday evenings (we do observe National Holidays). We ride for about 90 min maximum and have drinks and pizza after provided by our dear sponsors. Start location is 1001 S Dairy Ashford Rd. Our official event invites are on Facebook, see QR code below. We also have an annual Halloween Ride and a Christmas Light Ride through the Nottingham Forest neighborhood. With prizes for the best costumes!
GHORBA’s role in the GnarKids is to help community members who want to start a family ride group at their local trial. We have guidelines for safety, equipment, how to group kids by experience, how to lead safe and fun groups, and how to find sponsorship. We are happy to come alongside you and provide support as new rides are getting started and as they grow. Please contact gnarkids@ghorba.org for more information.
Our Facebook page promotes local rides, clinics, training events, and anything that helps kids and families get happier and healthier on their bikes in the Greater Houston area. All families are welcome to connect with each other here. The group is private and monitored for safety.
