Always in search of places to ride, where one can avoid the notorious Houston traffic - Last weekend I followed the bike paths along Braes Bayou into the city. The trail cuts behind the medical center, and along Hermann Park and into the extension of the Bayou heading towards McGregor Park. I managed to get 35 miles in on a round trip and have since done this track 3 times, once coming back into the University of Houston campus which was a quiet place to ride on the weekend!
The Texas Independence Relay was in full swing as one of the relay sectors finished in the park. This is a 2 day foot race from Gonzales to San Jacinto monument - Over 200 miles and it makes the bike riding look easy. Come & Take It the defenders declare!

| The $5M Bill Coats Bridge across from Hermann Park built in 2012 |
 |
| Smooth riding - Most of the bike path runs along Braes Bayou through downtown and in the other direction towards th Houston Ship Channel...... |
 |
| Plenty of New Construction as the area is close to the City of Houston |
 |
| Another new bridge - this time for cars and bikes |
 |
| It was warm - And I only had taken 1 bottle with me...Was glad to get home eventually! |
