If you're coming South on I-35 toward Austin, I would STRONGLY suggest taking the SH130 toll road just North of Georgetown (and no, I don’t work for TX Tag). Traffic on I-35 South between Round Rock and Austin is just plain STUPID! Especially after about 3 PM. Friday afternoon will be even worse. I can guarantee that if you’re coming through Round Rock and Austin on I-35 in the afternoon, you will be sitting in the heat. The tolls on SH130 have been converted to “Pay by mail”. If you don’t have a toll tag, you can either stop at the both, of just cruise right through and they’ll mail you a bill. It’ll only costs around $4 to get from the North end of SH130 at Georgetown to the 290 exit. Money very well spent. I’m taking the camper down that way from Georgetown Thursday evening. There is a way to get on SH130 coming from the South, but I’m not familiar with that route since I live way North. Here are the directions coming from the North:

Just North of Georgetown, take the SH130 exit South toward Austin.

You’ll go South about 20 or so miles.

Take the 290 West exit.

As soon as you get off the ramp onto 290 West, get in the far left lane.

You’ll want to take the next left, which is Decker Lane.

Take Decker Lane South about 3 miles, and you’re there.

WE WOULD LOVE TO FIND A GROUP FROM THE HOUSTON AREA THAT WOULD LIKE TO RIDE TOGETHER...ANYONE INTERESTED LET ME KNOW..

DO YA'LL RIDE TO AUSTIN OR DO YOU PULL YOUR BIKES?

Hey, what's a good short way to come in to the rally grounds from the north?  I-35 to be exact?  We came around the long way last year and were wondering if there was a shorter way to come in and get on the south side of the grounds?

Great info in rider from ft.worth. My wife Lisa and I have made some of those rides before....See ya there
