Bluff Creek Ranch is about an hour to an hour and a quarter from Austin and offers a wide variety of trails. Bike rentals are also available on site, so if you are riding with an out of towner, you can have a bike waiting for them when you arrive. The owners are very friendly and there is bike repair on site and they can really come through in a pinch.
Trails vary and are all well maintained. Imagine the best flowy singletrack of Roacky Hill but without a Fat Chuck or Ike's Peak. No jeep trails either for the most part.From a challenge standpoint, it's a little less challenging than Rocky Hill Ranch but still offers a wide variety of diversions on the trail to keep you interested. If you are taking an inexperienced person out, this is a great place, and if you want to just ride sweet singltrack as fast as you can, this is also the place for you.
