Hey guys,
Me and the missus just did 5 weeks going around Europe. We're probably a few months away from booking and locking it all in to go to the USA.
I'm thinking the west to east, and go to a couple of nationals. I also want to check out the different MX HQ's and do a few tours.
Interests include MX, swimming, running, biking, relaxing, beer, bourbon and good food.
If anyone can suggest a couple of good places that are around this route please do. Will also be looking to try and hire a bike and ride 2 or 3 times.
This is the initial plan. The trip will take place during June/July.

So if you think your hometown is close to this, and you think it's the bomb, I'd be stoked to pass through and check it out. Will be doing this in a hire car (RAV4 or something similar) and will stay in cottages and cheap motels.

The race is actually Jun 24, 2018. Probably something to see.
The Shop
Your path from Houston to Dallas, may I ask why? Keep heading west from Houston and hit the Texas Hill Country. Head to Shiner and sample some beer at the brewery
On your way to Luling stop at Bucee's for fuel and road snacks. It's a little Texas gas station...with 132 gas pumps. Hit Luling City Market for BBQ
on your way to Lockhart for your choice of Smitty's
Blacks
or Kreuz Mkt.
Head in to Austin for a bit of the nightlife down around Sixth Street.
Then head on out towards Fredericksburg for some quality hill country time. Cabins, B&B's, wineries, vodka distilleries, bourbon, beer, antiques and some scenic driving.
You could hit the Pacific War Museum
while the missus shops on main street
before heading out on the Texas wine trail
or Vodka
or Bourbon
or beer at the Twisted X
Drive out on the twisted sisters highways and Enchanted Rock
Grab a cabin at Baron's Creek
If & when you get closer to this trip, Let me know when you'll be in Houston,TX

These can all be done at Historic Rio Bravo, as they have a pool & we can cook up some Tex-Mex.
I should be able to hook you up with a ride for a day or 2, It might be My Vintage 490 Maico or who knows what?

Museums and natural history are definitely on the radar, so the Pacific War Museum is definitely on the short list.
I wanna say this was just over 20 ,it was a few years ago . This time of the year is the salmon run up the river . The other seasons still provide excellent fishing though , we have monster small mouth , steelhead,lake trout ,a few musky. Just depends on the time of year.
l love road tripping in the US, i usually go for motorsport events, mx, nascar dirt track anything with wheels,
Pit Row
Hahahaa, good for you, friend, but that's almost like driving from Brisbane to Sydney and back! No complaints though; enjoy your trip! Try some Cuban food when you're down there.
You should check out San Diego before you leave LAX.
Yeah the motorsport is a huge contributing factor as to why i wanna go. Will hopefully catch a heap of it while im there!
