Scenery

Very beautiful when the trees have leaves!!! Not just a flat ride... lots of hills.

Drive Enjoyment

The best road to really sweep through turns... 30mph turn ahead signs are in extreme abundance... Another great note is that this road is not frequently traveled, so you don't have to worry too much about traffic

Tourism Opportunities

Since it's only about 100 miles... gas is really the only thing you'd need anyway! There's a gas station or convenience store at every town you come to.

Really enjoyed this ride! The scenery once you get to the northern most part of the route is amazing and are some areas in Texas that I've never seen before. There had been some mention in earlier comments about road conditions, but I think they have been repaired since as I was surprised at how smooth all of the riding surfaces were. I made a small change in the route to swing through Anna at lunchtime to grab some fried catfish at Crow's Country Cafe.

there are only a few roads on this route that are really worth riding . Bailey into Celeste is fair and Celeste into Blueridge is also fair.
