Written Directions

This route starts and ends in Denton, and is one of my favorite Saturday rides! Heading north out of Denton on 2164 you hit some nice curves. Left on 455 all the way to Forestburg. This is North Texas Hill Country! Some peg scrapping turns as you head out of Bolivar. North out of Forestburg on 677 will take you within a stones throw of the Red River. The ride north out of Saint Jo takes you to a beautiful view as you drop into the river valley. Heading east on 373 parallels the river, passes by the Red River Motorcycle Trails near Bulcher. Nice smooth winding roads, hills, and a crazy experience driving up to and through the wind power generation farm. Munester has some great food. The trip back from there is highway cruisin, heading east on Hwy 82 to Gainesville, south back to Denton.

Scenery

Nice hills, beautiful countryside. As you approach Munester from the NW you go through a sci-fi like wind power generation farm. There are some really nice views into the valleys as you get into Montague county, and an awesome view as you cruise out north of Saint Jo ... the ride north from Saint Jo back around to Munester is great!

Drive Enjoyment

This trip has a nice mix of straight-aways on low rolling hills, some peg dragging S curves and long sweeping curves. A great chance to not only power-up out of the curves, but also do some serious flat out driving! 90% of the road is well maintained but through Wise and Cooke counties can get a little rough

Tourism Opportunities

Not much, until you get to Munester. Plan lunch or dinner there at either The Center or Rohmers.

Not a bad ride. I went the reverse direction to get the highway riding over first so I could enjoy the rest of the ride. There were a couple of places where road construction had it down to one lane and had to wait for a while, but other than that, it was a nice ride. Twisty roads, gentle hills, and practically no one on the road.

Really nice scenery. Lots of farm land. Some rolling hills and Sweeping turns. Not many twistys but some s-curves made the ride more fun. Riding through the Windmill farm was pretty cool. Stopped in at Docs bar and grill in Muenster for some food and a couple of cold beverages. Neat little town. Recommend the ride for sure if you’re in the area. We started in Melissa and took 455 west toward Sanger where we picked up this trail. Really pretty country!

What a great time. 75 degrees and partly cloudy led me through many small towns, windmill farms, great scenery, some curvy and hilly roads. Pretty much everything you could ask for on a day off of work. Stopped in tiny Saint Jo for lunch and had a great burger at the Lazy Heart.
