Question Touring through TX

To My Touring Family: My boys and I are renting 3 baggers to tour around the Austin area next week and also attend the World MotoGP races this weekend. Any must do rides in the area, and while we're at it, recommendations on food or bike shops to visit. Thanks

No body out there with a favorite restaurant, BBQ joint, or bike shop to see some cool bike stuff?
Thanks Timmy for the recommendations on the Big Bend area. We'll give that a try.

There is lots of good riding in that part of Texas,you won`t be too far from the Hill Country, you could make a good day trip out of riding to Bandera.

you will be real close to the hill country there..

  • Visit the 3 sisters, hwys 335, 336, 337
  • visit ingram tx to see a replica of Stonehenge across from the school
  • visit coyote ranch. the ride up hwy 16 to there is awesome. Be careful on Medina mountain, 5MPH curves.
  • visit leakey off of 336.. bent rim grill there is awesome and beer is cold
  • lots of stuff in bandera like 11th street cowboy bar
  • check out luckenbach
  • check out Fredericksburg
  • check out willow city loop (great riding)
  • if you're really hungry, ride on up to llano and find coopers bbq where you pick what you want to eat off the grill and it's sold by the pound. *Caution.. Bring an appetite
  • check out Riley's on the backbone
  • enchanted rock state park
  • lost maples state natural area
That should pretty much eat up 3 days. :-)
