Hill Country Riding Tips
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.
- 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.
- Wildlife. Always look out for wild animals, especially deer.
- 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.
- Gas. Be sure to fuel up before heading out, because some routes are seriously lacking in gas stations.
