I have been enjoying this route lately. Lots less cars and pavement than the San Saba route.

Hello from Marble Falls, I’m looking for dirt/gravel roads to get some seat time on my new DR. How much of that run is asphalt ?
Thanks

On a side note, many years ago I took a left on a dirt road while headed north on HWY 71 past RM-2233 ( road to sunrise beach) took it all the way to Fredricksburg.
 
Does anyone know which route we will be riding for the Monthly TARA ride this Saturday?
 
Also has the Texas Adventure Riders moved to a different site? I don't see much activity on hear any more.

Richard shut the site down. There's a decent amount of activity on the Adventure Riders of Austin FB page:

I think more than half of it.
 
I don’t know if anybody still watches this thread….but weather looks decent tomorrow. I’m going to leave in the morning from the San Marcos area 8 to 9am and ride north, top of my loop probably being Pontotoc. Then head back south, not sure if I will primitive camp (private property on Pedernales) or get a room somewhere. Will play things by ear. Just thought I would throw it out there. Will be on my 950 Super Enduro sniffing out the greatest hits dirt roads in that zone…..at a medium clip 😎

Steve, I already have other riding plans for tomorrow but we’re practically neighbors and I’d like to hook up with you for a ride sometime. I ride the Hill Country nearly every weekend.

Enjoy!
 
Some buddies from Houston were staying in Leakey to ride the Sisters. I met them in Vanderpool and escorted them back the fun way towards Austin. It was windy, but still fun.

Nice!!! It sure was a good weekend to be out and about on 2 wheels. Even though I’ve covered this area a lot, I managed to still find some adventure out there and stitch together a good long day!! Might do a mini ride report and blab more about it.

Hey folks, I saw the post that Rich has shut down the site, but do people still meet up once a month for these rides? Saw the schedule and rides in the first post and thought this looked fun!
 
it is supposed to happen no matter what! First Saturday of each month at the Texaco Hamilton Pool Rd.

There are often posts about the TARA meetup rides, and the TARA GPX tracks are saved in the "files" section of the group page.
 
Thanks a lot for the quick responses guys! I’ll check that FB group out too!

Disregard my site shut down comment, I think I misinterpreted a post 👍
 
Is this thread still alive? Looking for April: San Saba, 226 miles, dirt GPX file.

Ride is alive. Thread is alive. The original location of the gpx files at www.texasadventure.net seems to be down at the moment, but you can obtain the files from FB as @Big Bore Jeff indicated above:

I cicked on the Dropbox link and it did not work. It said the file type was not supported there. Where else can I get the current files for the 2026 rides?
