There are plenty of country roads and unexplored trails for you to explore. These roads have very heavy traffic and can be very dangerous. Before you ride there are a few things you need to be warned about. Low water crossings can be hazardous during flooding and can be very slick during the summer algae growth. Hill Country roads are also subject to gravel washing on the road from flooding.
Cattle can also be a problem.
Be careful when you approach livestock on open county roads. Cattle have a tendency to spook and turn in front of you. Open county roads do not mean you can trespass on private ranch land. Always stay on the road and respect the rights of the land owners. There are very few places to get water or use the phone.
