Any route suggestions for Salado area?

I have done both of these routes but it has been probably 10 years. I'd check google maps for any potential road changes but I don't things have changed that much out there. Sorry for format, it is from a book I used to pull a lot of rides from. The rides never let me down unless the area has just grown too much, like the ride that went on a sketchy section of 1431 that we bailed on.

The Best Bike Rides in Texas by Andy White - it is old - from 1995, but most of it is rural so still pretty relevant - looks like there is a second edition but that is pretty old too (1998). 

I have another even older one from 1993. It has a few multi-day rides as well. I like them both because they give you some good/interesting information about the area and things you may ride by.

Really good starting points for routes if anything. They were invaluable before gps/google maps, etc

Wow!  Amazon wanted $600 for that first one.  A search showed me the way to thriftbooks.com where I bought both of those for <$12 shipped.  Can't wait to get them.

Thanks!

Depends how you look at it.

This filter removes the categories so you just see all discussions. Sometimes it is really easy not to think about what category you are in when you get used to it.
