On April 10-13 we will do our 4th Coast Loop Ride. We first did this ride in 2013 (Photos from 2013) and again in 2018 (Photos from 2018). They were both clockwise. We went again in 2023 (Photos from 2023) and it was counter-clockwise. This time we will ride it clockwise using the reverse of the 2023 ride. We will loop around Texas covering three very different areas of the state including the East Texas Piney Woods, the Texas Coastal Bend, and Hill Country. Total distance is about 1,300 miles over 4 days and includes a free ferry.
