GHORBA and your Houston area trails
We are not called the Greater Houston Off-Road Biking association for nothing. We were founded for the preservation of bike access in Memorial Park, but happily, that battle is now won. GHORBA members now work in close cooperation with the Memorial Park Conservancy and the City of Houston to preserve the habitat and to expand the trail system for all users.
We have used the valuable lessons learned from our experience, as well as the credibility we have built, to develop trail sponsorship agreements with park authorities at every level of government from the local to the federal levels. We are also using our experience to work on several new trail projects, including Spring Creek, Cypress Creek, Green’s Bayou and Sims Bayou.
There are other trails which are currently “un-official” and we are working to ensure that they are preserved. There are many other areas in the greater Houston area which are either lacking trails or have areas with potential for trail development.
GHORBA can’t find all the potential areas without the help and support of the entire biking community. If you feel there is a potential trail in your area – perhaps a park, an area of woodland, or waterfront setting, then please contact our Vice President of Trails with your ideas. We can use our contacts with local government entities to support and guide you.
