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.

Summer 2010 UPDATE from the writer: The last year or so the road conditions around Forestburg and up towards Saint Jo have been hit and miss. With the Barnett Shale development, truck traffic has been heavy. The roads are always being worked on, you just don't know what you'll get - be careful. However, the roads north of Munester and Saint Jo are still sweet!

This was a fantastic ride and I really enjoyed the scenery in particular. The only complaint I had was the abrupt ending and the rather boring ride back home on Interstate 35. I plan to try this one again in a few weeks and take a different set of farm roads back on the return. Otherwise, great route!
