Hill Country Riding Tips

May 11, 2014

Hill country riding is an amazing experience. The lack of traffic, abundance of natural beauty, and back road bars and BBQ joints make it a trip well worth the mileage. However, there are a few road hazards to be aware of before taking off on your journey.

  1. Cell phone service. Never rely too much on a cell phone when riding through the hill country. Bring an old fashioned paper map and plan your route carefully.
  2. Wildlife. Always look out for wild animals, especially deer.
  3. Country drivers. On some back country roads, locals rarely see many tourists passing through and tend to drive with less caution. So, keep an eye out for lane-drifters.
  4. Gas. Be sure to fuel up before heading out, because some routes are seriously lacking in gas stations.
