Title: Thinking of riding on the 14th or 15th of April
Post by: txpopeye on April 08, 2007, 11:11:16 PM: Anyone interested?

Route will be as follows.

Great route north of houston lots of turns elevation chages and scenery!
Failry full day of riding here but well worth it.

Would meet at kroger 1488 and hona egypt

From there take hona egypt to rabon chapel

Rabon chapel to 2854

2854 to 105

105 TO 149 (Montgomery...eat?)

149 to 1375 east

1375 to 150

150 to 2693

2693 to 150

150 to 945

945 to 156 (turn right on to 156)

156 to 224

224 to 156 (turn left)

156 to 946

946 to 190 (left)

190 to 2296

2296 to boswell (left)

Yes there is a lot of hitting the same roads in different areas as many of these are roads that loop back on to a main road. But it is well worth the trip I chose these roads for maximum curves, and there is not alot of trafic on most of them.

I hope you got your AC fixed...you're gonna need here pretty soon!! There's been a few days already that I've had it on. Sorry you couldn't make it. I just got home, and the rest of the crew is heading back, too. Those roads were awesome. Some I've been on, some I haven't. I never could find the last part of the route you posted, but pepsX has a GPS, so we let him lead the last part of the ride. I finally made it to see the dam at Lake Livingston. They had all the gates open...it was a sight to see.

We'll get more of these rides going as long as the weather cooperates. Thanks for the route.

Post by: txpopeye on April 15, 2007, 05:29:41 PM: 300 miles huh? not bad.

did you hit all the roads on that route? like I said some of them just circle back around but I chose them because they had lots of curves on them.

which GPS are you using.
