Best Kept Secret Motorcycle Ride in North Texas Is in Your Backyard!
165 Miles | 3 Hours
We were starting from Granbury on FM 4 and went north thru Santo/Lone camp/Palo Pinto. This section of FM 4 is mountainous(for Texas) and very twisty, a great ride! continue FM 4 north and take a left when it runs into route 254. Take 254 west about 6 miles and you will come to a fork in the road and want to go right and get on HWY 16 heading northwest. After a mile you will see FM 2353 on the left - take a left there and you'll head south ... this is a ride around the east side of the lake. Don't miss the lookout over the dam, its a beautiful view of the lake and the valley below that you will soon be riding in. Continue on FM 2353 until it runs into HWY 16 where you want to take a right heading south (now back on HWY 16) to brad/Metcalf gap/strawn. Now take HWY 108 thru Mingus and continue south on HWY 108 to FM 1188 turn left over to morgan mill and pick up FM 1189 to Lipan, pick up FM 4 in Lipan and continue back into Granbury. A nice excursion for the day.
18 Miles South of Downtown Dallas Offers World renowned Riding and Scenic Views!

You'll find this great ride in north Texas, 18 miles south of downtown Dallas on Interstate 45 (the Houston interstate). just start in Ferris, TX. I suggest you start at the Ferris high school as it has a large parking lot and is a favorite meeting place for riders to head out on this motorcycle road. From there head east on TX route 660. 660 will start to head southeast and then after you pass through crisp Bristol it will actually start heading southwest. Soon after that, it will t into route 813 where you want to take a right and get on route 813. Shortly after you get on route 813 you'll want to switch to route 879 heading southwest and take this into Garrett, TX. In Garrett, stay on route 897 heading west as it starts to bring you into Waxahachie. Here you want to get on the E. US 287 bypass as it takes you northeast and up to route 813. Take a right on to route 813 now heading northeast to and through Rockett, TX. Now take a left on to route 983 heading northeast and all the way to Ferris, TX, completing a full loop and back to your starting point when you hit route 660.
