Road Scenery:

A
ride through this part of Texas will most certainly change
your view of my beloved state. You will ride amongst scenery
as good as it gets, along clear rivers, through very twisty
mountain type curves amidst real Texas Ranches. With million
dollar vistas and cool clear waters along with friendly
folks and knowing that you are riding the best this large
state can offer, makes for great riding...

Road Quality:
|
|
This
route is mainly very twisty passing over large hills and
between not many gas stations. This roller coaster ride
will no doubt blow you away. The road is not heavily traveled,
but beware as sharp turns have certainly taken many motorcyclist
down. Also, although the surface is mostly in very good
condition, always watch for loose gravel, deer and slow
moving locals heading back to their ranch ... often a much
slower pace than we're zippin by at.

Roadside Amenities: 
|
|
This
route isn't going to be know for its "Roadside Amenities"
as much as it is known for its scenery and road quality.
There are some very nice pull-outs, stop and enjoy the long
vistas. Gas up in Leakey as there are not too many gas stations
to choose from and where there is a very good motorcycle
shop. For a refreshing summertime swimming hole try the
Frio River (frio meaning cold!!!).

| Note
from a recent MotorcycleRoads.com visitor about this route:
"Hwy 16 between Kerrville and Bandera is not for beginners!
Due to recent accidents, weekend police patrol has increased
a great deal. Hwy 173 may be a better route between Kerrville
& Bandera." |

From
Kerrville,
heading south on Texas 16. At Medina you'll need to catch
RR337 heading west (right). Take RR337 west until you come
up on the town of Leakey. At Leakey, go north on US 83 for
a just about a mile and look for RR336 on the left. Take
a left onto RR336 which will head you north. Continue north
on RR336 until you meet Texas 41 and at this point you will
want to turn left in order to head west. Go west for 15
miles or so and you will find RR335 on the left. Take a
left and get on RR335 where you can finish out the rest
of this great ride.
