I’ve barely ventured outside DFW, but west of Ft Worth is pretty solid if you ask me....very little traffic, solid elevation and can find some pretty parts near lakes.
I've done every single bike rallies around DFW and N. Texas area.
Lancaster, Peach Pedals, Cotton Patch, Goat Neck, Collin Classic, Muenster Germanfest, Paulaxy Pedal, Cow Creek, MS-150, Tour de Paris, Tour de Italy, Up for the hills, Hot Rock, Hotter than Hell, Emmit Smith, Denton Turkey Roll, Mesquite Rodeo, Super Bowl Ride, Wish 100, St. Jude ride, Red Balloon, Blazing Saddle...etc.
You are right. West of Ft. Worth is pretty solid compared to other areas. The worst hill I've seen was at Palauxy Pedal in Glen Rose. I think it's like 13% or something like that called 'The Wall.' Germanfest rally is really windy and you will see hills after hills. Hotter than hell is damn hot, but it's one of my favorites riding with 12,000+ riders. I really like bike rallies but too bad all of them got cancelled and postponed this year.
