The Twisted Sisters Hill County Tour 2019
Looking at the calendar last night and decided to go the first weekend of December. Don't want to mess up anyone's Thanksgivings plans, so December 7, 2019 or Pearl Harbor Day will be the day of the Tour. I'll be arriving on friday if anyone is interested in arriving early.
Here is more information on lodging and the location and time of the tour. Lodging: Days Inn Wyndham Kerrville 2000 Sidney Baker Street Kerrville, TX 78028 !-830-896-1000 www.wyndhamhotels.com Meeting location and time: Shell Station with McDonalds 2128 Sidney Baker Street Exit 508 off Interstate 10 Kerrville, TX 8:00am to meet and do a talk before the drive. Friday night dinner: Mamacita's Mexican Restaurant. if you are getting in early. Saturday lunch during the drive at Frio Crayon Motorcycle Stop Saturday evening dinner: Buzzie's Bar-B-Q Hope to see a good group of people. |
I'm going! Leaving New Orleans Thursday, December 5th; returning Sunday, December 8th.
Great roads in the Texas Hill Country. |
I did the Sisters last June on my motorcycle. Here are my notes from my CB1100 forum post:
Watch. Out. For. DEER!!! (I encountered about a dozen crossing the road or thinking about it ... every truck has a big protective grill guard, even a few Camrys had them!) Watch out for police patrolling 337. Gas stations are near the bottom of the Sisters in the towns along 337. Fredericksburg: Kinda touristy walking strip downtown ... the Pacific War Museum is nicely set up and huge, but like reading a book standing up. I spent one stormy day reading books in their old historic library. Kerrville: Good home base ... Super 8 had a refreshing pool, rags for motorcycles, modern rooms, nice free breakfast buffet and cheaper than the local Motel 6. The Western Art Museum is just okay. Comfort: Historic center is tricky to find, but nice little antique shops and B&Bs if you have the budget for that sort of thing. Mason: Very lovely town square with antique stores and some dining. Cooper's Pit BBQ with outdoor smoker is divine! Hill Country Inn was a favorite cheap motel in that area with TWO bathrooms and huge TV. Also enjoyed riding Farm Road 386 north of town. Two Fat Boys BBQ in Leakey, Texas is a good food stop while doing the Three Twisted Sisters, as is the Bent Rim Grill, which seems to be the Harley Headquarters. And of course the Lone Star Motorcycle Museum in Vanderpool, Texas is a must-see. I uploaded two Imgur albums: https://imgur.com/gallery/bQDnaI8 https://imgur.com/gallery/xqw9zse I expected a lame collection of a couple of junky bikes, but it turned out to be very impressive. Limited hours on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Here's an album of my trip: https://photos.app.goo.gl/RN3niVDMk5mkudJy9 |
