The Lizards Tail Pt.1

Motorcycle Type : Cruiser

Cool route close to the west side of the metroplex with the a country feel that you'd normally have to drive a lot further away for. If you like neighborhood speeds with 20 mph sharp turns and shade, you'll love it. The roads have some roughness, but no potholes or uneven lines. You might get stuck behind a senior citizen in fear of driving over 20 mph, and you'll probably have a local ride up on your ass, but I really liked the ride. There's even a nice park halfway through that you can stop and stretch at. I'd be afraid to drive it at night. Limited sight on many turns might run you right into a local animal, and the lighting is non-existent most of the way. You might land in the lake via the drop offs, if you don't see these turns coming up. It would probably be a great summer day ride because of the shade.

Great ride. Loved it. The city of Fort Worth knows how to treat there citizens. Why would anybody want to live any place else. Lake life and tree cover roads. I'll ride the Lizard Tail again.

Good: It was a nice ride in July heat with the tree canopies, lake views, cookout and sunscreen smells, and low speeds.

Bad: The road is torn up in a few places and there are several blind curves. Road humps are present in the route by the some of the park areas.

Conclusion: I wouldn't trek a long way to experience this route but if you live nearby it's good, given we don't have many options. Next time I'll stop in one of the parks and seek to enjoy the environment more before moving on.

I've ridden this route many times. It's very enjoyable and scenic for a Fort Worth area ride. The roads are mostly nice and curvy and the pace is leisurely. It's not a wannabe racer route.
