A very good buddy from CO is coming down to ride with me in this part of the country, as I did with him in CO.
I am a bit conflicted as to where to take him and came up with the following 3 general options:
DFW - Hill Country - East TX
DFW - Ouchitas - Ozarks
DFW - Coast - Louisiana - East TX
Route #2 was borrowed (and slightly modified) from another thread here on TWT.
General parameters:
- 2 days, Sat and Sun, with the overnight stay somewhere
- 500 mile day is not a problem; I'd rather do 400 but if you want to go someplace really cool from DFW, it takes some riding. We expect to spend whole days on bikes and plan to stop here and there, eat etc...
- I never rode Hill Country or so far South East TX; I did do a Talimena run once but never went so far north as route #2 would take us. I'd definitely ride Talimena again!
- My buddy would rather do AR or coastal ride, as he feels like Hill Country might not be interesting enough; I feel that that might not be the case completely, but to a degree perhaps yes?
If you had the days - what would you do?
Any other ideas?
Thanks guys, I am not asking you to plan my trip but some ideas would be cool, I'll do the legwork. Thanks!
