New Roads in Texas
Added 9 new roads to Texas.
1) Hill Country:
a) FM 2222: "This road in Austin is a great ride... It has curves and hills and is beautiful for an 'urban' road."
b) City Park Road: "Won't know you are in the middle of Austin, TX city limits. Nice road through Emma Long Metro Park. "
c) Mt. Bonnell Road: "...this road leads to Mt. Bonnell Park, which is the highest viewpoint in Austin. You get a great view of Lake Austin, the loop 360 bridge, and the other direction is downtown Austin."
d) Shaw Drive: "The first part of the road is super tight and curvy, and there is a view of Lake Travis as you come off the hill. You do have to u-turn, as it ends in Turkey Bend Recreation Area..."
a) FM 67: "It has several tight curves that are not spaced too far apart, so the road doesn't have too many "boring" spots, and the scenery is actually a little hilly, which is a plus."
b) FM 216: "Even though this road dead-ends into a gravel county road, it is too fun to miss if you're riding around the Glen Rose/Hico/Meridian/Cranfills Gap area."
c) FM 309: "This is a great curvy road in the Hillsboro area... There are many sweepers, and it gets very slightly hilly as it gets closer to the west end. A very good little road."
d) FM 1473: "Even though this road ends at a county road, it is an excellent motorcycle road, because it is twisty. It is scenic at times also as it follows some hills." Located west of Meridian.
3) Piney Woods.
a) CR 3440: "County Road 3440 is an awesome road that goes along the shoreline of Lake Hawkins, both for its twisty quality and the awesome lake views."
