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.

This is a great ride. I ride the northern section few times a week since I live in Saint Jo. I would suggest checking in on the winery on FM 677 north of Saint Jo and the open air restaurant close by. Also the best food in Muenster is Doc's Bar and Grill at the corner of FM 373 and Hwy 82.

This is really a great ride with very little traffic. Going through Muenster, you'll love the ride down HWY 373 seeing the 100s of GIANT Wind Turbins. Great food stops are : Docs Bar and Grill on Main Street / HWY 373 in Muenster, Lazy Heart Grill in St Jo, TX. TOp Off with Gas in Muenster. Also can add to the route the Horton Car Museum in Nocona, TX if you want to head down HWY 82 a bit farther. Last time I went it was about $10 per person and worth it....plus its a great walking around stop before the ride back toward Denton.
