US55
The 2005 MTF Poker Run From Hell |
The Sniffin' Rides |
This is a really nice ride that covers the western edge of the Hill Country. US55 offers some great sweeping turns and some panoramic as it follows the East Nueces River. From there, pick up the west end of RR 336 which is not ridden often, then turns toward Brackettville, You can stop at the set of the original Alamo movie which is just north of Brackettville. Lunch choices are either Camp Wood or Brackettville. This might be a good day to pack a lunch and eat at one of the road side parks. Going north from Brackettville, pick up RR674 which is another seldom ridden road, but has some great stretches. From Rocksprings you can either jump over to I10 via US377 or take 41back though Mountain Home and then back to Kerrville.
Summary: 288.6 miles (8 hours, 20 minutes)
