There are some fun routes where I currently live (west Houston ... Katy, TX), but I'm a total noob to DFW. Are there any fun low-to-no traffic early Sunday routes out there that y'all enjoy?

Would be helpful to know where you want to start from...
Down near Katy, TX there are some nice roads! ::Banana::
Well, I'll be living in the Las Colinas area, but I don't mind driving further out 20-30 miles.
Lots of fun roads further west of Fort Worth out in the Mineral Wells and Weatherford area. But you have to get off the main roads and explore the country roads that criss cross the area. I'm from the area and know most of them pretty well.
Then you need to start leading runs :)Quote:

I don't recall who on here suggested MotorcycleRoads.US, but that is a good place to get ideas as well.
I was thinking more like a 50-60mi loop.
This is my usual fun route back home:

About the only fun in DFW is freeway on and off ramps............Seriously, I rode motorcycles for years and a group of us would meet on Sundays mornings. Usually a 200 mile round trip was necessary to ride anything kinda decent. Other posts here are pointing you in the right direction. Anytime you have a three day weekend head to Arkansas....

Motorcycle roads.us is a good place to start but it's short MANY roads. One of the best bets is just to get out and drive around the area staying well away from city centers and what not. I've found a couple of good roads up here around Saginaw that are fun to drive. A lot of times though with country roads surrounding this area you get a lot of traffic and even being on a motorcycle it's a PITA to get around it and actually enjoy the road.
I have hundreds of routes laid out. Tell me where you want to start, and how long of a drive you want.

I've driven cross country before, and used to drive 1/2 way across quite frequently. As long as he's got actually fun roads - and remember, I'm from the east coast, so I'm used to mini ToDs all over - I'm down for a few-day trip.
Ask Billy Blaze!;)

The route was actually not horrible. I think this was it:

We'd start off at 75 and head towards 289 and then some people would split off and go home, others would reverse route and head back. We'd do it pretty dang early in the morning (I think we met near the start point around 7am) to avoid suspicious eyes and road traffic. Of course, we always kept our recreational driving at a reasonable speed. ;)
