Currently, Houston


Recommended Posts

Montana native, residing in Houston, TX. 

 

Current ride is a 2006 950AdvS with 32K miles on the clock. (recently dressed it up with a signature designs vinyl kit)

 

Until recently, I lived in Grand Junction, spending all my spare time riding Western Colorado and Southern Utah on a 530 Xcw.  All technical off road, single track and and overland rides.   This part of the US is an off road /overland dream.

 

Houston doesn't have as much to offer terrain wise, but, it's always nice to get out for rip and meet other enthusiasts.

 

Fun Texas rides:

 

Sam Houston NP (yes, the sandy single track) 

In and around Big Bend NP/Terlinqua

Hill Country Tarmac

SW Kerrville/ Hackberry/Bullhead dirt roads

Great to hear from you! Really like your 950, graphics look cool! My youngest son just located outside Houston. When I manage to come to visit him I'll be looking to rent a bike for a couple days to check things out. At that time maybe you'll be around for a quick dirt tour! What the rental shop doesn't know about , right?

Welcome & Nice RIDE!! Grand Junction is my favorite spot out here, how many times did you brave Skinny Ridge on that 530??

 

I was a riding 2-3 days a week before I got transferred. 

Skinny ridges, 27 1/4 road,  The entire area is a playground.  Zion Curtain, Butterknife, Rabbit valley, 20 minute workout, Westwater, rips to Thompson springs...quick trips to Moab. The Unc.

Hi, thanks for the complement.  No dirt tours close to Houston.  The best riding I've found in Texas is the hill country, South of I-10 around Leaky, Uvalde and Kerrville. There are a few picturesque dirt roads around there.  This is a 3.5 hour drive West of Houston.  It is best to load up the bike and haul it over.   Big Bend is the only other interesting spot and I rate it high on the fun scale. Nothing really technical about it, but fun and scenic.  This is a 10 hour drive west of Houston.
