I am new to this list and looking for riding and riding partners around the Austin area.
Last Saturday I took a solo ride of 430 miles over about 12. Almost all of it
was on county roads, but there was only a little dirt--in that sense it was more
sport that dual. However, the klr made the twisty, empty roads big fun
nontheless, and the exploring was great. I did locate some pretty interesting
dirt roads in the "mountains" around Camp Wood and Leakey. Was thinking
about going back out there and ride all around there the next day before heading back. One or more other people would make it a little less hassel in case of a breakdown-flat etc. I'm not dead set on dirt
roads but they do put the dual in DS so I would like to try to lay out a ride
out there somewhere. Anyone interested in exploring The "Alps" for a future
organized ride?
Would also like to get any info about loops outside Austin that can
be tracked on "The Roads of Texas" map--I don't have a gps.
