My recent visit to the hill country made me realize that Texas doesn't like to build roads to meet demand.

But, there was some good riding indeed.

So, is this racetrack done yet?

Also, more progress being reported at the site. __________________ _______________________ Wayne Honda Blackbird Burleson, Texas
