This is the country route I use. I have been on this route several times and it's a lot of fun to drive. Lots of twisty, winding roads through the countryside between McKinney and Sherman.

I will be doing it again here the next couple of weekends. Anyone is welcome to tag along. I was going to do a cruise GTG, but getting this group together is just too much of a PITA if it doesn't involve drinking or a stop at the doggy park.

Starting at TrueStreet -

1. Head north on N Tennessee St toward E Erwin Ave
2. Turn right on E University Dr
3. Turn left onto Farm Market Rd 1827 N New Hope Rd
4. Continue onto Co Rd 470
5. Turn left onto Farm to Market Rd 1377
6. Turn right onto Farm to Market Rd 545
7. Turn left onto Tx-78 BUS N
8. Take the 3rd right onto Farm to Market Rd 981
9. Slight left to stay on 981
10. Pull into grass lot for break/ pictures.
11. Turn right out of grass lot onto Tx-78
12. Take first right onto 981
13. Turn left onto US-69
14. Pull into gas station for refueling break
15 Turn left out of gas station back onto US-69
16. Turn right to stay on US-69
17. Turn left onto 697
18. Turn left to stay on 697
19. Continue onto E Ida Rd
20. Turn left onto Tx-11 E/S Dewey Ave
21. Take the second right onto 1417/ Old Dorchester Rd

22. Lunch/Dinner break in Sherman

23. Do the whole route in reverse to go back.

It's about 61 miles on nice, quiet country backroads. I love this drive.

That's my backyard, literally. There are a shit ton of good roads out here.

President G. Bush Turnpike, northbound from Rockwall all the way around to Lewisville, no fuzz on that route. Open her up to about 100 - 135 mph when you feel the need.

I'm down just let me know...sat and Sundays are good for me

[blownaltered]

I'm down for a Sunday cruise. I have baseball every Saturday with my boy till mid November.

[BERT]

Steve, let me know when you plan on doing this. If I'm in town I'll go. Me and the gf enjoy a good county back road "road trip"

Sounds like a plan.

It makes for a fun morning/afternoon. Some fun driving in the country twisty backroads. At the end of first leg stop for lunch then you either can go straight down 75 to head back home or go back and do the route again in reverse order. Its a good time.

[McNastyGT]

Sunday works best for me too...lets set this up!!

[donutninja]

Instead of starting a new thread, I'll just bump this one.

Any other roads or areas with some nice roads for a drive? And not just long straights but some decent curves and scenery.

May have to try your route, I used to head out East on Bethany and then up some of the backroads to the McKinney airport but it wasn't a real long route. May try yours after I get back from Australia..

Speaking of, nothing beats running with 2 or 3 buddies up the side of a mountain with no guardrails. In Australia I lived at the bottom of said mountain, any day, any time I could just head on up there... god I miss those damn roads!

[donutninja]

I wish I could do some touge runs with a few buddies... I'll settle for a few windy roads though. Haha

Take a ride on the 635/820 loop around the entire DFW metroplex.

Good for a couple of hours, plenty of opportunity for some spirited driving, and best if you do it early on a Sunday when most all the rowdy folks are sleeping off a drunk or in jail, and all the good 9 to fivers are in Church.

Wow..horrible idea. lol. The point of going cruising it to enjoy driving on a nice day in a cool car. Who in their right mind would like to go for a drive on one of the loops on purpose, for fun!?

[DirtyD]

Driving the loops for a cruise? Lol

[El_Tortuga]

As part of some sort of cruise/activity on Forest this Sat, my neighbor is cackling his front engine nostalgia drag rail "Blown Inheritance". No nit nightro, but an injected and blown alcohol big block with open zoomies sounds pretty damn good.

[Grandpa]

Forest Ln Cruise is this Saturday?

Cackle is off due to a funeral in the vintage race bunch, but he is getting the C1 vette out. If you see a sea foam green and white vette, make sure you harass him. :)
