The
Texas Hill Country without a doubt, offers some of the best
year-round motorcycle riding to be found in the state of
Texas. The roads in the Texas Hill Country area offer
spectacular scenic views and exciting riding for the novice and
expert alike. For the motorcycle touring and cruiser rider, the
Texas Hill Country offers enjoyable riding with many interesting and historic places to visit along the
way. Whatever type of motorcycle roads you like, whether
it be gentle curves or wild exciting turns, it can be
found right here in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.
There is
so much to see and do in the Texas Hill Country
and that will be the purpose of this website, to
highlight some of the more interesting roads and places to see and
visit while motorcycle riding in the famous Texas Hill Country.
The
Texas Hill Country covers a large area from San
Antonio north to Austin and then west for about a
hundred miles. Besides the large cities such as San
Antonio and Austin, there are numerous small towns as
well. Bankersmith, Sisterdale, Utopia and many others
still offer the small town hospitality and charm that
keeps visitors coming back time and time again to the
Texas Hill Country. Throw into the mix the scenic views
and great roads that motorcyclists enjoy and you have to
ask yourself, what is not to love about
the Texas Hill Country. One visit here and you will see
why motorcyclists keep coming back for more. It is just
a fantastic area to ride a motorcycle.
The
roads west of San Antonio and Austin offer everything from gentle
rolling hills to wild sweeping curves that can unnerve
an inexperienced rider. But we also have roads
that will satisfy the new rider too. I would highly recommend that you
investigate
your travel route prior to taking off for the day. I
will also do my best to point out the roads that inexperienced
riders might want to avoid.
This area has so many
great roads to ride that a map is essential. A map
in hand can also save you should you get lost along the
way. Maps
can be purchased at most ice houses in the area. They
can also be obtained from the Kerrville Chamber of Commerce
located on Highway 16 South (Sidney Baker) when you
enter Kerrville. We also have a
map here to assist you with your travel plans.
Some
remote areas of the Hill Country lack any fuel stops so I highly
recommend topping off the tank often. It is not rare to
ride 50 miles or more and not see any gas stations along the
way. If you are riding the 3's, I would highly recommend
topping off the tank when you pass through Leakey,
Texas. It might be the last fuel stop you will see for
some time.
Cell
phone service can be non existent in some areas too.
If you
are new to this area, use caution when it comes to deer
and livestock. This area has a very large population of
whitetail and exotic deer along with many kinds of exotic game that often can be found on the roadways.
This is Texas ranch country and livestock often get loose
and can be found wandering on the roadway. Be alert for
deer when riding, especially in the morning
and evening hours. The Hill Country has camels, cattle,
wild hogs, buffalo, turkey, sheep, goats and so many
other animals that caution is a must when riding.
