ABOUTI wonder what's down that road?

Best of the back roads since 1998

If you wonder, "What's down that road?" RIDE TEXAS® is for you. RT has been exploring the back roads, byways and small towns of Texas and the neighboring states since 1998. It's a quarterly travel journal for the type of travel you love, exploring on two wheels.

Mission

Our goal is to deliver to you the finest, book-quality motorcycle ride guide that not only shows you how to get there, but why you should go. Our goal is to make sure when you head out, you'll find the best of back roads riding every time. We cover the entire state of Texas and other states you can reach within a day's ride.

Why $35

An RT edition published today is as good 5 years from now as it was the day you first opened the front cover. Each edition is crafted to create great riding/exploring/reading experiences for motorcyclists in Texas. No other state has anything like RT. It's a well-researched, carefully-crafted travel book subscribers receive every 12 weeks.

Awards

With a team of talented writers and photographers, RT has been selected for 7 journalism awards from the Dallas and Houston Press Clubs, including awards for writing, photography and graphic design. Although it's the readers' appraisal of RT that matters most, professional recognition is an affirmation of our high standards and lets you know we're serious about quality.
