I haven't ridden much in Texas, but I've been following various threads about good roads in the Lone Star State. I've been tinkering in Google Maps and came up with this route for a day trip when I get there. I'm open to suggestions and changes. I'm going to ride there with a riding buddy starting in the Kansas City area...we'll spend a leisurely day on the intended route...then ride back home.

 

It looks like a great route to me. It's one I'd definitely try.

 

Frank,

I'm not an expert, but have ridden that area numerous times. You might look at heading S. On 16 from Kerrville to Hwy 337 just N of Medina. R. On 337 to Vanderpool. The Lone Star MC Museum is in VPool if so inclined. R. On 187, then L. On 337 to Leakey. The Bent Rim on 337 on the west side of Leakey has excellent burgers/food, view, and a nice retail shop. Cont. W on 337 to Camp Wood, then R on 55 to Barksdale. R on 335 to 41. L. On 41 to 377, then R. On 377 to Junction.

The twister or three sisters are 335, 336 and 337 and the best in the area. Enjoy the ride!

 

Great! I'll start looking into your suggestions. Thanks!

Does 335 north of Barksdale have a pretty good road surface? My riding buddy is a little older and doesn't feel comfortable on cattle grates, gravel, etc. I looked at it on Street View and it appears to be a fine 2-lane road from one end to the other.

Here's a map of the Three Sisters - FM335,FM336,FM337. Drop your route a little further south of Kerrville.

Enjoy the trip!

Yea, just got back from riding the sisters... lots of fun!

 

Best I remember there are a lot of cattle guards, but they were real smooth. It was a good ride. Definitely drop down out of Kerrville and take 337 across. Eat at Coopers BBQ in Llano.

 

looks like the EVO TX. meet-up route---wish it wasn't so far away
