The ranch consists of 1,300 rugged acres that have been in our family for over 100 years. It is part of the original ranch founded by English architect Alfred Giles in the 1880s. In fact, we still raise Black Angus cattle and Angora goats. Currently, we have 29 miles of existing single track with some double track. The trails lead through typical hill country terrain, with spectacular views, hill climbs, long downhill sections, technical single track, and several creek crossings.
