My 3 Day Texas Hill Country Ride Starts Tomorrow

[olguy]

The group must have some weekend warriors in it. There will be 4 stops in a 250 mile ride tomorrow. 2 Saturday rides have been plotted on the Harley ride planer. 1 is a whopping 50 miler and the other is is about 100. I went 170 through the Sam Houston National Forest Tuesday and 116 on country roads yesterday. Looks like I may do some solo Saturday. At least the dealer is paying for the room, lunch tomorrow and a steak Saturday night after those strenuous rides.

Here's the track of my Saturday morning ride through some of the Texas Hill Country near Kingsland, Tx.

And here's an 11 minute video of the best part of the ride.



Here's the track of today's ride home..

And here's a slide show. 4 1/2 hours condensed to 15 minutes. I had the Gopro taking a shot every 30 seconds this time.

Watched the video above which is enjoyable, but I am wondering...If that is Texas Hill country, what does the Texas Flat Land look like? Ha ha!!! Looks way different than Idaho Hill country!!!!!!

You take what you can get. Besides, it doesn't get waist deep on a 9 foot giant in snow come winter. I can still ride up there in the middle of winter. We have a 12 month riding season.

Thats cool...We ride year round here too...but not up in our "hills",,,just down here in the valley. Only snows a coupla times all winter and melts in a day. We are 2600 feet here in the Boise area, but rode over a 9,000 foot pass yesterday afternoon, about 3 hours away. Have never been down to that part of Texas, but hope to one of these days. Keep ridin'!

Kingsland is kind of on the edge of the Texas hill country.

That's right, the eastern edge. I was just watching some video of bikes running Three Sisters. Looks like fun.
