So, now that I have my gravel-compliant motorcycle in good working condition, I am again looking for ideas of where to take it.
I know that Llano and Mason county have a ton of gravel(/sand, etc.) county roads, but it's two hours from my place in Cedar Park before you get there.
What I'm hoping to find is some place or point of interest which is worth going to see, that is accessible via primarily public/open gravel roads, ideally with less than an hour's worth of paved road trip from NW Austin suburbs before getting on the gravel. Like, I remember a decade or so ago Reimer's Ranch required some miles of gravel road to get there. Or, Muleshoe Bend has gravel roads through the park (not talking about the MTB trails...). Maybe there's something like these places but with more gravel involved?
Could be a COE lake with gravel service roads running around it, maybe some national forest with a bunch of gravel roads to access it, who knows? But I'm hoping to find something with like an hour's worth of gravel riding that starts and ends an hour or less from Cedar Park. And FWIW, I'm not talking about trails or dirt bike riding. I'm going to be taking a street bike with 80/20 tires on this.
I know this is a shot in the dark. But I thought some of you might have found something like this.
