I used to have 1431 out to Marble Falls memorized when I first started riding. Someone told me it was a great beginner road. I worked at a golf course at the time and if it was even a little cold, I didn't go to work. So at least 3 or 4 times a week I would hop on my ninja and head out there.
Since I never really rode with other people I have no idea if I was fast or not. I just went as fast as I felt comfortable.
