⭐ Featured Ride: The Pedernales River Winter LoopKick off the year with this peaceful 55-mile ride west of Austin. Start on Bee Cave Road and cruise toward Pedernales Falls State Park. Roll through soft winter hills, exposed limestone cliffs, and quiet ranch roads. Continue along Hamilton Pool Road or cut down to Fitzhugh Road for a perfect mix of curves and wide-open scenery. Why it’s perfect in January: Cool temps, low traffic, and dramatic winter sunsets over the Pedernales Valley. Pro Tip: Stop at Texas Bean & Brew in Dripping Springs for a mid-ride warmup—great coffee and rider-friendly parking.

🏍 Did You Know? Motorcycle FactsThe first V-twin motorcycle engine was introduced in 1903, changing motorcycle design forever. At 65 mph, the average motorcycle tire makes over 800 revolutions per minute. Texas has more registered motorcycles than almost any other state in the U.S. Some riders complete the “SaddleSore 1000,” riding 1,000 miles in 24 hours—Central Texas is a popular route due to its open highways.

Legal Corner: What To Do After a Motorcycle AccidentIf you’re in a crash: Move to safety. Call 911 and file a police report. Take photos, gather witness info, and keep all paperwork. Texas is an at-fault state—know your insurance rights and required coverage[13][14].
Key Texas Motorcycle Laws: Helmets required for riders under 21; riders 21+ may ride without a helmet if they have completed a safety course or have sufficient health insurance (proof required)[13][14]. Eye protection required unless the bike has a windscreen. Lane splitting is illegal. Motorcycle endorsement (Class M) required on your driver’s license[15].
