Looking for suggestions for Texas Rides & Gatherings for 2017. We have been doing the Hill Country for several years now and can certainly continue that tradition, but I'd like to hear from my fellow Texans with some suggestions.

Maybe A swath through.....Comanche and up around Granbury, Possum Kingdom Lake, Eastland, Wichita Falls, etc? I'll bet Clint or somebody up that way would know that area pretty well and at least be able to advise. This is extreme northern end of hill country. Also would still be kind-of "central".
More hill country would be the Marble Falls, Johnson City, Buchanan Dam, Inks Lake, Burnet, Llano, Mason, Brady areas.
I very much do NOT recommend the Big Bend region.

You have to be a certain type of person to appreciate the VERY rugged terrain out there. I do, but a vast number of people think it's just miles and miles of butt-ugly, and it is ugly compared to hills and dales and rolling green pastures.
Additionally you must go at the proper time which is November to, ideally, March. Temperatures are too warm to down-right unbearable otherwise.
Also, March is not the best time to go as Big Bend is LOADED with Spring Break people so you have to have reservations well in advance and restaurants are super crowded.
Lodging accommodations are not plentiful, gas stations are far-between, motorcycle repair shops would be iffy and medical is practically non-existent. They usually airlift to Medical Center Hospital in Odessa as it is the regional trauma center. The little Alpine medical facility doesn't handle much.
There are a few little shops to browse in Alpine, Marfa, and Fort Davis.
The Fort Davis area has a couple of interesting loops to ride and then there are the star parties at McDonald Observatory at night.
The Marfa Lights are elusive. I have seen them 1 time, back when I was a student at Sul Ross State in Alpine.
I have been to watch for them on many motorcycle camping trips at Fort Davis but have never seen them again.
Most of the motorcycle groups that go out there stay at either Alpine or Fort Davis then make day trips to Big Bend, the loops from Fort Davis, and the night rides to McDonald Observatory and the Marfa Lights.
I guess the bottom line is I'm thinking that most of the ladies wouldn't like it and repair and medical issues would be a challenge.
Not much for being an organizer of events or rides... But might I suggest Fredericksburg area they have several wineries and surrounding areas including Johnston city, Blanco, Luckenbach, Wimberly etc...there is also Canyon lake nearby . just a thought...

Thanks for the compliment Randy! I've got Terry saying half a century and yourself referring me as a baby I would love to... But as demanding as my job is, it would prove difficult for me to do so. However being both a senior and retired certainly has its own built in perksl...Y'a do what you want, when you want to do it! I'm jealous
