Here's what to expect:
The U Lazy S Ranch was host to the Post Enduro Association and has held many national enduros from years 1970 until the club left in the early 1990s. The property has been in the family for over 100 years and offers some of the most unique riding in the state of Texas. If you like dry dirt and sharp elevation changes, you will be right at home on the terrain. You can count on three days of riding with a variety of terrain and difficulty. On the third day we will caravan to a nearby landowner for a completely new network of trails tor ride. All of the extreme terrain that is offered will have a bypass and/or an alternate route.
Enjoy a big Texas sky:
One of the most unique things about the U Lazy S Ranch is the base camp. A large fire pit is surrounded by artifacts and interesting items that have been found over the years at the ranch and also is the center stage for the tour. There is an option to serve dinner campfire style one of the nights here so the group can bench-race around an open fire.
