North Texas TEAT info?

[texxter]

I am thinking of riding the North Texas segment of the TEAT. Has anoyne on the DFW area done this segment and has any suggestions? My current plan is to ride solo from Tioga to north of Paris on my wr250r, and spend one night along the way camping, probably at Caddo National Grassland. The segment is 200 miles and can probably be done easily in one long day, but I am not in a hurry and want to take my time. Also, I don't believe this is a technical ride, so I am not worried about tires - I have Mitas E7s 50% worn, and I think they should do the job. Anyone has any suggestions?

Looks interesting, do you have the GPX for that?

I rode this section a few weeks ago. It was fun and fast dirt roads.

Awesome! Would this be more of a dr650 type of ride or super tenere?

Thanks,

So, what's the TEAT? Does it cross all of Texas? Any maps or tracks (free or purchase)? I'd like to learn a bit more, but I'm not joining Facebook just for this...

Got this off of the TEAT Facebook page. Not sure it helps much. Looks interesting.

That looks just like the Texas Dirty Loop. I've spent some time on it up around Nicona, Muenster, Gainesville, Sherman. It's ok.
The part I rode could EASLY be done on a big bike. Pretty tame.

Texas Dirty Map Project

A while back someone was going to map a 1000 mile dirty loop of Texas. Then they moved. As an adjunct to my hugely fun mapping duties for the Roll the Bones Rally, I'd like (and need) some serious help mapping the dirtiest, twistiest, remote, topo-filled loop from the Red River to Rio Grande...

Tenere would be fine and fun. Let me know and I will join you for part of the camp and ride
