Title: Group riding to Lone Star
Post by: Rocket67 on October 05, 2015, 06:46:30 AM
Anyone want to meet up and ride as a group to Lone Star?  Me and my brother are riding up Thursday Nov 5th.  I would like to take a scenic route as this will be part of my riding experience so no I45 or Hwy6.  4 weeks to go so no hurry.  I will likely end up planning a route but would also like to group up.

This is pretty much the route up.  We are leaving Thursday around 9-10AM  Avoiding the early traffic if possible.

Another fun way to go , is down through Anuacac to High Island , run Boliver and take the Ferry into Galveston. I have never had a problem with traffic going into Galveston on the ferry, coming out is a different story.

Would be hitting the ferry around noon on Thursday if we go that way.  We could always turn around and go another way if there is a 2 hour wait.  Not in a hurry to get there and good as long as the wheels are rolling.

I have never had a problem going from Boliver to Galveston on the ferry, leaving Galveston on the ferry is a mess.

I am thinking about avoiding any route that has metal as part of the roads.  That stuff is slick when it's wet.

Y'all need to check TXDOT for road closures.  I know that IH-45 is going to be closed for at least part of the weekend.  I know y'all remember the debacle from last year......
