on Park rd 4 toward Inks lake. Deer are in abundance in this area,
please keep your eyes open. When you reach Hwy 29 Go right or

Oak Hill to Fredericksburg
|
3 Hours
104 Miles
|
The
Ride starts at Oak Hill and takes you on scenic roads to
Fredericksburg. This is a great ride in the spring when the blue
bonnets are in blume (See some pictures of the Blue Bonnet Rally).
You will travel mostly back roads and some are open range, so look out
for those cows. Stop in Willow City for a cold drink and then on to
Enchanted Rock SP. When you get to Fredericksburg stop in one of
a dozen places to have lunch. It is hard to find a bad restaurant
here.

Leaving
Fredericksburg you will travel through Lukenbach (and you should make a
stop there). Then you will be off to Blanco and if you are hungry
stop at the Sunrise Restaurant on the south of the square.
Proceed to Wimberly and cool you heals there. Do not let the
shoppers loose or you will have a long stay. Leaving Winberly you
will take more back roads through Driftwood. If you are not full
stop at the famous Saltlick BBQ a mile out of Driftwood on the north
side of 1826 (if you get to the cutoff for Buda you have gone too far).

Painted Chruches
Ride |
4 Hours
100 Mi |
This is a ride that is planned for visiting 6
of the painted churches to the east and south of Austin. The painted
churches were built in the late 1800 and early 1900 by mostly German immigrants.
They are an amazing display of the culture of these immigrants and a sight to be
seen. If you take the ride from Paige to Shiner then let me suggest you
stop for lunch at Werners Steak House in Shiner. The document was put
together by Tom Sprague and is a complation of web info and pictures taken Jan
2011. |
