Recommended Montrose Route? - 2009/06/12 21:41 I've lived in Houston for about 7 years, and cycled for a little over 4. I just moved near Shepherd and Richmond, and wanted to see if anyone knew of a good route/loop around the area during the week/on the weekends. I have seen plenty of people cycling, but would like to see if anyone has a recommendation of the better/safer streets to hit. Ideally, I'd like to find something that I can do after work or early on a weekend morning and knock out a quick 25 miles or so. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Josh

Re:Recommended Montrose Route? - 2009/10/07 21:38 You could head north (~ 2 miles) up Dunlavy until you hit Allen Parkway and take it west to Memorial Park. Heading east to downtown on the weekends is also a nice ride since there's hardly anyone in the area before noon. You can ride through downtown and back to Shepherd on West Alabama.

You could also head south (~ 2 - 3 miles) and go onto the bike trail on Braes Bayou. This is a long trail that parallels MacGregor on the east end at Cullen (UH) and goes all the way to Bissonnett & Braeswood on the west end. East end of the Braes Bayou trail intersects the Columbia Tap Rail Trail that goes all the way to downtown Houston as well.

Hope that helps!
