Written Directions

Starts Denton ends in McKinney just north of Plano. On the northeast side of Denton, start on E. Sherman Drive heading north east continue and the road turns due east and changes names to W. Sherman Drive and goes into Aubrey, TX. Stay on road as it changes names to E Sherman Drive and now heads north up to Pilot Point. Then head east on Rt 455 through Celina and on to Rt 94 which continues heading east and changes names to W FM 455 and takes you into Weston. Now get on Rt 543 and take that south to the route's end in McKinney. Suggest you refer to the map above!!

Scenery

This route covers old small towns with historic buildings, bidges with creeks reaching out over large fields. Few Straight aways with a nice selection of wide and tight twisty turns.

Drive Enjoyment

Overall the entire road is well kept with no rough patches or potholes. Keep in mind since its in the country after rain or high winds be careful on twist in case dust or rocks may have a chance to be on the road. Well built country twisty roads.

Tourism Opportunities

Being out in the country your only going to find small gas stations spaced out along with some great little mom and pop resturants. Will list them when I remember the names.

My favorite ride around DFW. Lots of small towns to stop in, roads are in good shape and the views are pretty great. IMO, the best ride within an hour of DFW.

Rode this 8/18/2020, and I thought it was fun. There were a couple bridges that were under construction with the makeshift stop lights, so be prepared to stop a couple times. The 90 degree turns later in the route were surprisingly friendly with some asphalt wear in the middle of the lane, but no big deal. I'm a new rider with a 2019 CB300R, and I had plenty of fun. I'm certainly not dragging any knees in these turns, but I'm sure someone with higher skill levels could make this ride a lot more dynamic. There was some traffic, but nothing crazy.
