Need some wind therapy?

With 45+ years of riding experience, the team has developed a library of our favorite rides in Texas and points beyond. We call them our Twisted Rides. We thought it might be a good idea to share that experience and encourage you to do the same!

We partnered with MyRoute-app, a leading provider of route planning tools, to create and share the routes. Using the map below, Users are able to view and download the routes without registering with MyRoute-app. If you would like the ability to open/edit/save the routes, the User will be prompted to register with MyRoute-app and offered two subscription levels - Basic (free) and Gold (fee dependent on subscription term and payment method). Being an avid ride planner, I prefer the Gold level for the additional features and I also believe in supporting independent software developers who invest their time and talents to create useful applications for the motorcycle industry. As a Twisted Rides referral, you receive an extended evaluation period and special pricing if you choose the Gold level - so give it a shot!

Go West! Tour - Oregon or Bust

We arrived in Chiloquin, OR last evening after two very long days of travel. Our routing was up through Denver, then west on I-70. We had lunch in Vail and then got back on the road, anxious to see the scenic views for which I-70 is known, particularly Glenwood Canyon...



It was beautiful until...



The Hanging Lakes Tunnel was undergoing maintenance and rock slide that required closure intervals. Basically, Colorado DOT would stop traffic for 20-30 minute intervals so that heavy equipment could move around freely...in 93 degree temps. 

There were several bikers around us that were really sweating it out. One old guy apparently had a support vehicle behind him, so he would dismount and sit in the back seat and drink his water...or whatever. He was slow to move and caused further delay while he got back to his bike. Fortunately, he was in the other lane!

After +12 hours of driving, we spent the night in Sandy, UT which is just south of Salt Lake City.
