Scott........I am open to others sharing their routes and experiences.
When you can make it here for a Saturday ride we will let you show us some of your routes.
I will get a gps unit someday and when I do, I would like to have some files/tracks of known rides.....for now maps work OK for me.
I was referring to routes in the greater Huntsville area. I don't have any routes for the Austin area as I rarely ride in that area, preferring instead to get out past US 281 to do any riding if I am coming that direction. Richard "Trail Boss" might be able to offer suggestions on routes in the Austin area. There was also a link somewhere to a Google Map that some folks were putting together on DS focused routes in the Austin/Hill Country areas.
Ah! Here it is:

A GPS is in the works, is there one you favor(cheaper model)?
Well, IF you can find one on Ebay, I really like the Garmin 276. The screen is a good size, it has good features and is easy to use. They are highly sought after though and are no longer made. I have a newer Garmin Montana 600 and I think I actually like my older 276 better. The 60CS is also a good unit, but the screen is just small and my eyes have been going bad the last year or so and I can no longer read it very well The NUVI models are not weather proof. The Zumo models are and have been popular with motorcycle riders. If you would like to see any of my GPS units, feel free to give me a holler and come by. I'll be around most all this weekend and probably helping Pkiser get a KLR running on Saturday at my place. I have all three of the units mentioned above (Montana 600, 276CS and 60CS).
