I plan to take a weekend motorcycle trip sometime late this month or in the first half of September and am open on suggestions of where to go or to pass through. I’ll be leaving from work on a Friday afternoon around 4pm from downtown Houston and plan to return home to Kingwood on Sunday afternoon around 3pm. Probably a short 100-150 miles on Friday, anywhere possible on Saturday as long as I end up within 8hrs (400 miles) of home to get me back n Sunda. I’m not trying to do an Iron Butt or anything and maxing mileage isn’t the focus. I don’t mind some interstate miles to get me to some better riding though.
I think a realistic total distance is 1000-1200 miles, but I’d be just fine if it was much less and involved exploring the backroads at a lazy pace. I will likely just stay in hotels for the shower opportunity, though I do have a pull behind trailer that would allow for camping.
I think I’ll keep this trip inside the Lone Star. I was thinking of putting the hammer down and doing Hey 83 from McAllen to Laredo. But I also like just riding through places Leakey and Mexia and San Angelo, and I honestly prefer wandering along more than tagging a destination and racing home.
So, whatcha got? Any cool stuff happening in the next 4-6 weeks, and hidden places or good backroads?
