Leavin Houston headed West on I-10 ... go thru Katy and Brookshire and take the "San Felipe" exit. This will put you in San Felipe, TX on FM-1458 heading north. Take it easy thru San Felipe and stop at the river on the North edge of town. Get everything righty tighty ... burn one or whatever. Then hop on yer stead and continue over the bridge. Its customary that when you hit the North end of the bridge guardrail .... YOU HIT IT !!! The road loops back around to its end point in Pattison (North of Brookshire on State Highway 359).
Scenery
It's all a blur. Cool think is there is a nice River Stop end the end to cool off.
Drive Enjoyment
Paved shoulders .. new blacktop (no patches).Clean surface. Don't run this road more than a couple of times at .... well ..... more than the posted speed limit as the locals DO call the Texas Highway Patrol out after ya
Tourism Opportunities
Hard Times Bar BQ at the end in Pattison has some KILLER breakfast and great lunches. Stores 'n gas on each end of The Route.

Im lucky enough to live 20mins from this road and i travel it most weekends. I used to ride it before they resurfaced it and wow what a difference.. speeds are up and paved shoulders are a sure plus. This road is actually only a quarter of the full loop around Fulshear (see Fulshear44). Although there are some good long sweeps south of i-10 past the hotel, this section is probably the fastest.
Gas at both ends and some good food along the way. Yes scouting the road is greatly recommended. This road picks up a lot of big rig traffic and i have stopped countless times to kick sticks and debris off the road. Good road for all levels of riders!

This is truly a great road. I live in Richmond TX and go this way every time I need to blow the cobwebs out of my head. The roads are very good quality, there is very little traffic, and I have never seen any law enforcement over the last 5 years. I know the Z-Club and the Porsche clubs also use this road on their road trips. Rod is right about the racing bikes, especially on the weekends.
