3rd and 4th line of of Hockley

[newbieracer]

I was just foolin around on google maps and noticed there seems to be some very twisty(yet short) off of Hockley road, just wondering if there Dirt or rideable? Im probably going to head out there this weekend, , Im bringing, my buddy who is a new rider, and have heard hockley is pretty good for new riders, but wondering about 3rd and 4th line .

I don't go through there very often but I'm pretty sure every road off hockley between hwy 10 and airport rd are all gravel.

The road at the flashing light (might be 3rd line but I don't recall) is paved but not very interesting. The other cross roads are gravel.

Brian is correct 3rd line is at the flashing lights at Hockley Valley, paved and i think it has maybe two corners.

3rd is a mix of gravel / dirt and 4th is crazy gravel, I've done it a few times on my old GS500F. 4th has very steep hills and requires quite a bit of gravel riding skill on a street bike, i'd suggest you stay away unless your the adventurous type.

I live right on the hockley rd b/w 1st and second line all roads except the 3rd which goes to the resort are gravel. I would not want to ride up them on my machine the hills and corners are all washboarded as well. Feel free to stop in if your in the area maybe we can do a ride??

I've made the mistake of following Howard down there once.. Had to use my training wheels to keep the shiny side up

[DaveP]

Practice makes perfect! Or just ****s up your ride...

I forget what rd it was, but when u hit airport rd go north and then turn left at the first street you see that you can turn left on, thats a pretty fun rd with a couple tight corners.......

other wise hockley is good for beginners, pretty much long sweepers.
