I can personally vouch for FM 219-It's fantastic, but be careful outside of Clifton. I was pulled over by a State Trooper for speeding (86 in a 70) on Hwy 6 and I still do not know where he came from.... :roll:

When are you planning on going? I live in Temple.

No-but then I've ridden some roads without paying attention to their name/number. A lot of my riding has been south of Temple and I am just starting to venture north in my exploration.

well, you're welcome to meet us in waco and ride part of the way back to dallas.

Hmmm ... I'll have to remember those roads for later. I think I'll drop them into Streets & Trips so I don't forget them.

FM 308 is good from the beginning at FM 933 near Waco to Hwy 22...smooth pavement, wide shoulders, not much to look at 'cept cow pastures, cotton and milo fields...pretty flat

FM 339 between Hwy 84 and Hwy 31 is about the same...

Hwy 171 Between Hubbard and Hillsboro is a nice ride also...

Also...

FM 660 from Hwy 34 to Ferris along IH45 get you to within 5 miles of Belt Line and 10 miles from the IH 20 Loop in Dallas...
