Technical Routes Collection

Like Twisty routes, Technical routes have sharp curves and elevation changes, but also include county roads that may contain potholes, patches, gravel on pavement, slips, etc, that may require a slower pace. They are perfect for riders of ADV style bikes, as they take you on the little back roads with the most interesting terrain and scenery.

MAP GPX 
RouteType: TWISTY, TECHNICAL
Navigation difficulty: AVERAGE
Distance: 129 miles
Lunch Stop: None
Direction from STAR HQ: NE, COUNTERCLOCKWISE
Comments: 129 miles-paved but more suitable for large ADV bikes because generally these roads are narrow, lots of cattle guards and some have low water crossings. Gas generally not available on the route except Kerrville, not much in the way of restaurants either since the idea was stay off the beaten path.

Lunch Stop Options: The Apple Store in Medina, Leakey Drug and the Motorcycle Stop in Leakey, Lift Coffee in Ingraham

Comments: . Technical in sections, probably the highlight of motorcycle roads in the Texas Hill Country. This is why several MSTA members moved to Kerrville. Route 336, one of the sisters may be the best road in Texas. Gas available in 30-40 mile intervals except the loop from Camp Wood, back to Leakey which is about 80 miles
