This is a 4 day ride for tourists. Starting in Cleburne SP, riding south 38 miles to Lake Whitney SP, 40 miles to Meridian SP, 32 miles to Dinosaur Valley SP and finally 24 miles back to Cleburne. This order was chosen for two reasons: 1) there are no towns, or grocery stores near Cleburne SP, the others have a town very close to allow shopping just before reaching the park, and 2) the last day is relatively short, giving you time to ride, pack the bike up and still get home at a reasonable hour.
Please, before arriving at Cleburne, call the park to ask permission to leave your car.
