Now that the weather is getting nice I’d like to get out and drive. Anyone have a suggestion on a nice back road route. Any where in north Texas is fine...

Try FM 4 in Palo Pinto County going north from I-20.

north of mckinney, there is 455 from anna going west. it goes all the way to sanger if you pay attention to the signs, but i cannot even remember having gone west of 289 since back when i had a streetbike over ten years ago. it is a more well known stretch of road, so you will see others out there on nice days, especially bikes.

bro.

I am doing a cruise on May 31st in Mckinney, meet at 9:30am in the Winco parking lot, roll out 10am and the route is from Mckinney to Sherman. Here's my facebook event post:

Ok so here's you a nice loop......can get on at any point you want.

From Anna take FM455 West to Forestburg

Take FM677 all the way up to the FM373 JCT then take it back down through Muenster and on back down to the FM922 JCT

Then take FM922 East to Tioga

Jog over to FM121 East to Van Alstyne
