Brickyard is a short, flat out-and-back mountain biking route in Texas, about 2 miles from the town of Hitchcock. The ride is only about 0.7 miles long, with a total climb and descent of about 15 feet each, so it's a quick stop rather than a long day on the trail. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show March highs around 73°F and October highs around 82°F, while July and August average about 92°F. Several other trails sit right next to Brickyard. Neverending Trail, Cedar Bends 1 and Home Stretch are each about 0.1 mile away, and Dragon's Back is about 0.1 mile off.
