Unforgotten

Weiss Store is on FM 390 between Independence and Hwy 36 in Washington County. There’s not a real store there but the distance to Hong Kong is always-on. The sign has its own lightpost powered by a solar panel. This oddity has been developing for 40 years.

Take Gerke Rd to a right on Clay Creek Rd. You’re in Valley Forge—a community that time forgot and scenic beauty that’s unforgettable. Keep going, Clay Creek becomes Sun Oil Rd and horseshoes you back to FM 390. There’s a short patch of caliche so keep it slow. County roads are perfect for nature cruisin’ (about 35mph). They don’t show up on maps, you won’t see many cars, and you’ll never see another motorcycle.

Don’t believe it—it’s only the beginning.

The Girls Of Boggy Creek

Ride through this tunnel and you’ll see the girls of Boggy Creek. Stop and they’ll run up to greet you but don’t get serious. If you can’t feed them in a style to which they’re accustomed—they’ll drop you without so much as a text.

Boggy Creek Rd runs between Meyersville Rd and FM 2621 in Washington County. This scenic ride is all yours. No one even knows its there.

Final Act

Seed pods own the stage now and everywhere we ride the colors of Summer are spreading across the landscape. Within a few short weeks the faint-of-heart will be putting up their bikes for the Summer.

The Last Wave

Take FM 390 to Sun Oil Rd to Valley Forge Ln. A relaxed ride through beautiful countryside that few riders ever see.
