The 2005 MTF Poker Run From Hell |
The Sniffin' Rides |
This is a great ride. Starting in Kerrville, head to Luckenbach, which was immortalized Waylon and Willie and the boys. Rub the head of the statue for Hondo for luck (good for one week) and head over to Johnson City for brunch. The Hill Country Cafe is regular stop for Texicans visiting the Hill Country and has a great breakfast. (I strongly recommend the Miga's).
After breakfast head out to one of the best roads in Texas. The Old Blanco/Crabapple/Klinderia road is full of short terms, ups and down, and great views. You will need either a GPS or to go with someone that knows this area. As there are a lot of turns.
Warning: If it is has been raining, the low water bridge in Blanco may be submerged or wet. If it is wet, it will be very slippery.
Warning: This is challenging ride. Goldwings have been known to become airborne on portions of Crabapple road. Ride within your limits and be safe. Be aware that there are number of blind turns on this route and several decreasing radius curves. Don't get in over your head.
This route could easily be ran backwards with a stop in Bandera at the Old Spanish Trail, better known as the OST, for a late breakfast. If your riding as a group, you might want to consider that option.
This ride is short enough that it allows ample time for taking a long break in Luckenbach and Brady as well as a leisurely brunch in Johnson city. There are a number of places worth exploring along the way including a number of state and national parks and historical monuments.
