Ride at your own risk. Do not ride outside your abilities. 

A properly fitted helmet is required if you're on a bike.

Children under 8 must be accompanied by an adult.

Do not ride when trail is wet. I.E. - do not ride when shoes or tires leave any marks.

Supplemental protective gear (elbow/knee pads, etc.) is recommended.

Flow Loop Phase 2 is counter-clockwise only.

All pets must be on leash.

No motorized (gas or electric) vehicles. 

No remote control (RC) cars/vehicles of any sort.

No scooters - they damage the track 

No glass.

Do not ride over wildflowers.

Preserve hours are dawn - dusk.

Be respectful. Be helpful. Help others learn. Maximize fun. 

While this isn't a 'No Dig, No Ride' trail, it is STRONGLY encouraged that users of the Loop and Trail volunteer to keep it in good order. 

If the Loop or Trails are wet, please put up the ropes. Do not walk or ride on the Loop's clay surface when the surface is damp or wet or you will damage it. 

Do not cut or remove any vegetation. If you see an issue, please contact us.

The Trail and Flow Loop are bidirectional with 2 exceptions (below). The Flow Loop Phase 2 is Unidirectional in the Counter Clockwise Direction only. This is for safety as the larger table features were constructed to be used one way and are too steep to be used in a clockwise direction.

Exceptions for Trail and Loop: if someone is already on the Loop going one direction you should not start going the other direction. The other exception is the drop on the Trail is one-way due to the speed of riders coming downhill blind. 

Take all trash out with you.

Pick up after pets.

Loop specific etiquette:

Cyclists have the right-of-way on Loop. 

Do not play in the Loop. Do not stop on the Loop. Do not dig in the Loop area. 

Faster Riders - do not crowd slower riders.

Slower Riders - do not block the Loop. If someone is faster, take the next opportunity to duck out so they can pass.

There are no 'turns' to wait for - just be cool. If you see someone waiting, ask them if they want to go. Encourage new or uncomfortable riders always. A good place to start a roll around the loop is at the raised platform in the middle.

Trail specific etiquette:

Hikers/Walkers have the right of way on the Trail. 

In the Spring of 2021, members of the Travis Country Safety Committee in conjunction with the Travis Country Grounds Committee approached the board with a proposition to rejuvenate the derelict trails in the Wildflower Preserve.  The Board granted the request to restore the existing trails and build a new flow loop as a neighborhood feature. 

By  July the 1/2 mile Flow Trail was complete. By mid-September volunteers had cleared the land and installed the Flow Loop.  

In October 2023 the Flow Loop Phase 2 was begun. After 2 days of hard work the trail was rideable but needed a lot of cleanup. This cleanup is scheduled to be completed before March 2024. 

All labor is/was volunteer, much of it from the cycling community at large, not just the neighborhood. Most of the trails were hand built; all were hand-shaped. 

The Travis Country HOA Flow Trail and Loops are located within the 10 acre Wildflower Preserve in the Travis Country Subdivision. These trails are entirely on private property. 

The Trail and Loop were designed for all ages and skill levels. The Loop Phase 2 was created as a natural progression for riders who are confident on the Trail and Loop. The Trail and Loop were built to be easy for a new rider on a kick bike while offering progression opportunities for all but the most experienced cyclists. The Loop Phase 2 is meant to progress rider's skills, self confidence, and fun.

The Trail was designed to be an easy trail with fun features. The idea is to foster a love of cycling while providing a gateway into more challenging Central Texas riding. The Loop was built to better the handling skills of the riders in our neighborhood - cornering, pumping, body/bike separation, etc. The idea behind the Trail and Loop was to provide a safe place for neighborhood kids to ride while offering some progressive features to allow riders to scaffold their skills to meet the bigger challenges in our area.

100's of hours of volunteer labor have made this possible. Please be respectful of the Trail, Loop, and your fellow cyclists.
