New Bohemia, VA | I've been down to McAllen a few times and I would just look for some of the mom and pop places along the way. I rode 59 from Houston to Victoria and picked up 77 to Rivera. I then go west on 285 so I'm not much help from there. Nothing sticks in my mind as "the place" to stop. Every placed I stopped was good, but I will say, sometimes it's a few miles between stops, but no big stretches. I'm not sure if the "love bugs" are out this time of year, but if they are you'll end up with a messy bike and bugs in your teeth. I love riding Texas. |

| Got home Saterday evening and had a great ride there and back. Round trip ended up at 1754 miles averaged 51 mpg and the weather was good,except for alittle rain on the way back. I was joined on the trip by my brother in-law on his X Country. Can't wait to go back to SPI again and also really looking forward to my next trip in Aug for the Hot Bike Power Tour. |

Sugar Land, TX (Outside of Houston) | Don't know your exact route but if you come close to Luling, TX you HAVE to go to the City Market BBQ place. It is a staple for all MC Rides in Texas.
OOPS - Should have read the last post. Anyway - I still stick with the City Market recommendation anytime in lower Texas.
