Houston Mountain Biking
Trails: 

Memorial Park Ho Chi Minh Trails

The mountain biking (or Ho Chi Minh) trails in Memorial Park are the best singletrack trails inside the Loop in Houston. They get very busy on weekends and after work, so you have to be very careful on them, whether you are walking your dog, trail running, hiking, or mountain biking.

Where can I get a mountain bike event schedule?: 

The best Houston Mountain Biking Calendar is on GHORBA's web site.

Where can I rent mountain bikes?: 

West End Bikes rents mountain bikes, including full suspension bikes and 29ers (maybe they rent full suspension 29ers too? you'll just have to call.) They're pretty close to the Memorial Park trails so you can just ride out.
