NOTE! LOTS OF ERRORS IN THE DIRECTIONS! READ BELOW! I live in Austin, so have been meaning to ride this route with a buddy who rides on an 83 R100RS for a while. But he never has time--so I finally got my girlfriend on the back and did the route 2-up.

I live on 360, so I actually rode "Hippie Hollow Horror" (all roads I know) to start and get up to 1431, rode that to Marble Falls, ate, and then rode the route as listed.

I realized that the author accidentally put "west" instead of "east" on the first direction listed, so I made sure to double check the directions with the map--the author made 5 or 6 huge mistakes that could have you lost for hours if you tried to follow them! Lots of little dislexic moments, it looks like.

BUT THE ROUTE WAS GORGEOUS! It was like Ireland in Texas; lush and green in parts, great views from way up high, lots of wildlife, very light/friendly traffic, and just a great time. Weather was beautiful today, slightly overcast--beautiful lighting, but no harsh sun. Lots of twisties. I was worried I'd be looking at directions the whole time, but that wasn't the case--most of the time there are very few options, so just one glance at the next turn on your list will be enough to know it when you run into it (half of them are dead ends into T's).

At the end, one of the turns was onto a CR 328 or something--you'll see a 328A (or whatever the number is, it's the last CR after an FM), and that's not your road... Just wait it out, the correct road without "A" will show up.

Also, in Marble Falls, there was this great restaurant--Real New Orleans Style Restaurant. It's the real deal--it's owned and run by a church community that moved here after Katrina from New Orleans, its all home recipes. Tasted awesome, reasonable price. Wanted to go to Pete's Mesquite BBQ; closed on Mondays. Go figure. (Also closed Sundays, if you were wondering--opened other days.)

Enjoy!

Hands down my favorite ride closest to my house. GO SLOW ENJOY IT GO SLOW. However rider beware many hazards lie within. You got quick switch back turns followed by water ridden roadways followed by short turn cement bridges with no guardrails and if you think your done a cattle guard will surprise you. Of all those hazards the water crossing the road was the worst. Of the 3 or 4 constant water crossings, I slipped on all of them. Its algae meets road meets moving water meets hot motorcycle tire, aka id rather ride on ice. All that danger aside I would do it again and again, take a dip in the clear water stream go fishing, or camp if find a spot.

I stumbled upon the Cow Creek portion of this ride and really enjoyed that stretch. Ill have to try the rest.

Cow Creek road is a great ride through the Hill Country. Take it slow and enjoy the beautiful views. Watch out for the multiple cattle guards.

I like it better than the three sisters. Slow ride. Easy to miss turns if you don't pay attention.

What a wonderful ride! There is some beautiful scenery to be seen here! Riding down Cow Creek was particularly awesome. The roads are a bit rough at some points, and with the recent rain there was a few places with an inch or so of water on the road, but the view was wonderful.

Consistently interesting ride through unexpectedly paved county roads. You wind your way though twisty slivers and a few inch deep single lane stream crossings! Beautiful view of the hill country! I often had the feeling like I was crossing someone's front lawn or taking a trek through someone's pasture. This is cow country, so be careful on some of the blind turns since you'll see cattle and the cattle guards that keep them.

A nice road to see the Texas countryside. Be aware of the directions because is very easy to take the wrong turn and wind up somewhere else.

Nice laid back twisties with some beautiful views of Lake Travis. A good warm up ride for the three sisters. Not too difficult.
