Texas Hill Country BDR-X

BDR heads to the heart of Texas with a brand-new 650-mile loop through the legendary Hill Country. This scenic and moderately challenging route combines narrow backroads, rugged dirt sections, and a taste of the iconic Three Twisted Sisters—plus their off-pavement cousins, the Three Dirty Sisters. Expect elevation changes, low water crossings, shallow sand, and “bump gates” that’ll keep you on your toes. Along the way, discover small-town charm, world-class barbecue, and the unmistakable spirit of Texas adventure. Whether you’re riding in from Austin, renting a bike locally, or making the journey cross-country, this BDR-X is a must for your fall riding calendar.

The route will be released during a live YouTube Broadcast on Friday, October 24, 2025. BDR is grateful to our community of riders whose financial support powers our non-profit mission, and to our industry partners—Harley-Davidson, REV’IT!, Cardo, and Austin Moto Adventures—for making this route possible.
