Default Hill Country

I live in Temple, Texas and just bought my M50 this week. Saturday my buddies and I are heading down to Llano and Fredricksburg and plan on hitting around Wilow Springs as well. Anyone ride down in the Hill Country? This is the website I used to find routes.

Re: 3 sisters
At least break-in on a tire goes faster than break-in on a bike, lol. Did I mention that we saw tons of deer in the hill country? I have never seen that many before, my wife nearly hit one not 100 yards from the house on our first run. I was hoping that wasn't a bad sign. Another rider in our group had to do a panic stop on one that ran out in front of him, and that was in the middle of the day.

Can run it home down Hwy 4 tomorrow [6/11/08}.

I know where that is, I used to live on Hwy. 4 at Worth Ranch. I'll give you a holler sometime. Thanks for the info, I did like 337 better.

If you were on Hwy 4 between Santo and Long Camp you were about 15-20minutes from me/my house I live on the south side of Lake Palo Pinto. off of hwy 2692.
Cheers.

Any recommendations as to which loop is the best?
