What: Farm-to-Market 335 is the westernmost of the popular "Holy Trinity" of Texas moto-roads. It is a curvy, dippy, certified hoot of a ride, and was voted the 3rd best road in the 2003 Ride Texas (http://www.ridetexas.com) readers' poll. 8)
The road, like the other 33x roads, is in generally good shape. There are a couple of bends that have a bit of rock strewn about, but this is the exception rather than the rule.
The distinguishing characteristic of 335 is its roller-coaster nature. The road follows the Sabine river for quite a while, and there is a nice series of swoops and crests.

As with 336, the northern portion of the route is up on a plateau, and fairly flat and straight, but the other sections are so much fun, it doesn't matter. :P
Be sure to look for the kangaroos on the east side about midway... :eek:
Where: FM 335 is in western Hill Country, just east of Rocksprings, between Barksdale and SR 41.
Designation: Farm-to-Market (FM) or maybe Ranch Road (RR) 335
