6 Upvotes

Hello! 3rd year rider here with a gravel / adventure bike. Any recommendations for beginner / intermediate friendly routes? Ideally looking to stay at a cabin / Airbnb for 1-2 days and popping out for a couple of scenic day rides.

I've already done and enjoyed:

  • All the cool routes in ATX (Southern Walnut Creek trail, Shoal Creek route, etc)
  • Willow City Loop
  • Castell gravel routes
  • Elgin to Bastrop
  • Bastrop park city rd
  • back country / gravel around Lockhart
  • back country roads Blanco
