Good 7.5 Mile Route through downtown - 2004/08/13 13:39
Thought I'd share my morning loop through downtown with everyone.
I start off near westheimer/Montrose:
1.) Duck into Avondale (1 blk north of westheimer) - less traffic and go east to Louisiana
2.) Proceed North on Louisiana through downtown (usually 1-2 stops for traffic - good time to get a sip)
3.) West on Congress, a Zig-Zag to Washington (a block left and a block north) all the way to Waugh over Memorial & Allen Parkway
4) Take Waugh south to Westheimer (Becomes Commonweatlth with a bike lane)
Rinse / Lather / Repeat - Round Trip is just at 7.45 miles.
Best Part of the ride - Sprinting down washington & smelling the Mrs. Baird's bakery every morning - Fresh bread baking - YUM!
Worst part - Riding over Memorial & Allen Parkway - smelling the bayou - sometimes it can make you retch. - Thankfully you dip down and get some speed over it pretty quick.
Enjoy!
