Twisted Sisters_Kerrville Tx

[jburrell]

Just got back from the Twisted Sisters near Kerrville. We spent 4 days there for the weekend and it was great. My wife finally rode with me and spent the entire day on the ride with me ( she caged it there). We left Kerrville with our group from Houston SAT (Waller Road Dogs) and rode down Hwy 16 from Kerrville ( wow what a road with some turns past 90 degrees and speed limit of 10mph at some turns. Up and down and round and round we went over the hills and rivers. Down 16 to Medina then out 337 until Vanderpool and stopped at Vanderpool to see the MotorCycle Museum and eat some great pie. We hit rain on the way and ended up there for and hour and a half. We left there and headed to Leakey and stopped for food drinks and some patches and shirts. We saw the rain move off to the east so we headed the other way and went to Hwy 51 I think to go up and over to Hunt Tx and stop by Stonehenge for pictures. On the way back to Kerrville I think we crossed the Gudalupe river at least 8 times. Hwy 336 and 337 were really great roads that you had to be really careful in several areas due to the climb and drop on some of the turns but by far the most treacherous road was probably Hwy 16 South from Kerrville down to Median.Due to the rain I had to wait until today to hit Ranch road 335 and it was by far the most fun. This road undulated and turned in such a way that you could let go and just ride unlike the other 2 sisters. This road had me grinning from ear to ear before I was half way thru it. One section had you just going up and down, You could see the rise and fall of the road in front of you and when you top the hill you think where did the road go and suddenly down you go only to head back up again within seconds then a left or right turn heading up the hills and start all over again. We saw deer, goats,sheep, antelope,buffalo,kangaroo,porkupines,wild turkeys and wild hogs, and quite a few river crossings. We spent Sunday going over to Garner State Park( I promised the wife if she rode with me on Sat we could go where she wanted on Sunday). Then Monday we decided to get up early. Wife wanted to head back and said go ride and meet me at hoem later. OFF I went, Down Hwy 16 again to go to Bandera but when I got to Ranch road 337 my bike decided it wanted to try 337 again and off I went down 337 across to Medina, Leakey, Vanderpool and finally Camp Wood and up to 335 north to 41 then east to I-10 and finally down I-10 back to Tomball Tx. Wow today alone was 432 miles and I hit heavy heavy traffic about 70 imiles from Houston but got home in 5 hrs from Kerrville but was on the bike from 7:30 am till almost 4pm. I would do it again but not tomorrow LOL. Pictures will be posted tomorrow althought I dont have a lot since I had to try to get Lynn to take an ocassional picture.

I really loved the Twisted Sisters too, although we skipped the cattle guards of 336 for an uphill race up Hwy 55's sweepers. Did you guys pull into the Frio Canyon Motorcycle Stop for the t-shirt? LOL

 

Did you happen to see TxMotoFoto out there? If so, they probably have your photo:

We have done that ride a few times. Like you said it was a really good time. Did you do the willow loop and stop in at Harry's to sign your name on the wall? The flowers on the loop are not good this year because the lack of moisture, but that is usually a real nice ride also.
