Now is prime season for riding in Houston. The weather isn't blazing hot and humid and there are a bunch of organized rides leading up to the largest charity bike ride in the USA the- MS 150, including the Bluebonnet Express and the Tour De Houston. Bluebonnet Express is a really well organized ride run by the Northwest Cycling Club and the Tour De Houston is nice because the route changes yearly and allows for seeing areas of Houston from the perspective of your bike you may not otherwise see. But I am really excited about the Grand Parkway Ride. This March 19th the new Grand Parkway Freeway will be closed to car traffic on a 12.5 mile section between Hwy 59 and I45. You know this road is going to be smooth and fast. And having the option to ride your bike on a road that will be closed of the bicycles is a great opportunity.
Upcoming Rides:
MS 150
Bluebonnet Express
Tour De Houston
Grand Parkway Ride
