there's a link to a route about 10 of us rode yesterday. I was on my gpz 550, and had a blast. I was the oldest and smallest bike on the ride, but hung with a couple of modern liter bikes on some of the straights, and definitely felt relaxed on the twisties. My speedometer only goes to 85, so I have no idea how fast we were going. I wasn't directly hanging with the two fastest guys, but I was flying. Such fun.
The slightly wet roads, wet cattle guards and some gravel in the low spots from the recent rains kept everybody mostly chill. It was a reddit meet up with a bunch of dudes I'd never met. Nice enough guys. Not a lot of squidding, besides one dude who joined us on Lime Creek Road. At the next stop, he was stuntin back and forth. One of our group was cutting out of the ride, took off, and stunter took a u turn right in front of ADV guy, making him evade hard. I thought that was it for both of them.
Next time I'll try to get you central Texas guys some notice so we can bring the noise.

Looks to be a nice route, lots of twisties.
A lot of hills/mountains too, or is it flat land?

Where are the bike pix?

Rob I've rode those roads and I'd say around 500 feet elav. change
from the valleys to the hill tops.
What folks here call the "Hill Country" is more like swells in the ocean
then the hills you have. I grew up in east Tenn. so the "Hill Country"
here ain't the same riding like back home.

I need to call Don ain't talked to him since he came to the track
time before last.
