"This
is the best ride in the Austin Texas area. Several things
to see and do along this route. I ride it about 5 time a
year.": Bear

Road Scenery: 
|
This
route travles through the Texas Hill Country. All near
the gorgeous Highland
Lakes area. This area is especially beautiful in the
spring through June when it turns into a utopia of wild
flowers. The first flowers to bloom are Bluebonnets and
they are quickly joined by red Indian Paintbrush flowers
which makes for a blanket of blue and red flowers covering
the fields. Later in the season, these flowers are overtaken
by various yellow, red, and white flowers … you've got
to see it to believe it.

Road Quality: 
|
|
This
road is very twisty and has several hills to go over. The
road is very smooth and clean. From Cedar Park there is
only one stop light and then next one is not until you get
to Marble Falls.

Take
FM1431 out of Round Rock Texas West towards Marble Falls.
Stop in Marble Fall and have lunch on the lake. There
are several camping areas around the Highland Lakes, as
well as great restaurants. The Lakes themselves are the
best part. If it gets too hot just pull into one of the
parks and take a dip to cool off.

Until this is finished a more pleasant route from Round Rock would be up to Hwy 29, then west to Bertram and south on 1174 back down to 1431. 1174 is short but sweet.
