Austin Texas

[hazen]

We are touring around Austin Texas for 3 days and wondered what there is to see. We like history, ghosts towns, oddities, small cool roads, attractions - we stay out of big cities.

A member, BeerTeam, compiled this very detailed Ride Report during his trip thru rural TX.
Lot's of areas surrounding A-Town and beyond

Long, but well worth the time for the out of the way interesting stops

For a long day at a fantastic museum in Fredericksburg, an hour west of Austin

And just north of F'Burg

You did not say how far and how long of a ride you are interested in.

But 335, 336 & 337 over by Leakey in Texas Hill Country is one of the top motorcycle-riding-destination in the country. That would be about a 3 hour ride from Austin just to get there. Not much for "tourist sights" other than canyons and hills and valleys and some old towns, but great riding.

Check out the Hangar Hotel at the airport in Fburg. Have a drink in the O Club!
