Day 1 goes through Bandera and to Camp Wood via 337 then north and back down 674 (Through Kickapoo) to Del Rio. I am trying to stay under 500 miles a day but will not be staying in the same place twice so I don't have to keep retracing my routes.
Day 2 is Del Rio through Terlinguia and to the River Road (170) , then up 67 all the way to Balmorhea.
Day 3 is South on 118 and will end up at the Chisos Basin Lodge and I planned the ride there at only 160 miles so I'll ge there early enough to explore the park on foot and/or on bike. There is a long dead end road in the park that looks really great to ride but you have to go up and come back the same way unless you want to take a few dirt roads.
I haven't planned after that yet but am going to try and make it the most interesting 2 day trip home. Maybe heading North from there.

It's a bit early to make the call but I am a solid 6 hours from Bandera and I know you are a bit further than I am. Tentatively we'll propbably be looking at 2PM and then lunch. We'll be 3 hours from Del Rio so if we get there by 2 and take 45min-60min to eat we could get on the road and hit Del Rio by 6PM and if I am not mistaken that is about when it starts to get dark in March.

On a side note, I was thinking about Austin as a destination for Day 4 so we would all be closer to home for the last leg. Maybe we could find a place on 6th Street to stay the night. :c
Of course that is 476 miles but I am good with that considering Day 3 is a short day and I planned on spending most of my time in the park.
