Texas is an off-road riding paradise — just look at the list of tracks we’ve compiled! The warm climate lets you ride all year long and there are certainly a variety of tracks for everyone. Some consider the 1970s to be the heyday of Texas racing, but with weekly races and good racing conditions year-­round, Texas is still a fantastic place to ride. Enduro is less popular in Texas; motocross dominates. Some great riders have come out of Texas, and once you ride around the Lone Star state, you’ll see why. If you’ve been off-road riding in Texas and anything to change or add, comment below and we’ll add your recommendations to this post!
