Before the 2016 flood, the unflooded level was 83-84 feet. Now it's about 81-82 feet.<br />Also, the level reacts to upstream rain differently now than it did a few years ago, I'm guessing due to upstream development. The level spikes faster and higher than it used to. The level reading when the water is rising is somewhat unreliable. The 81-82 feet is for when the level is falling. Note that my 81-82 foot recommendation means the trail is dry. It may be passable at 83 feet, but I stopped doing that, because I got tired of getting my feet and my bike wet.

Am still trying to figure out where it is. There is scaffolding around it, but it does look like someone is trying to save it. I'll bookmark this and can let you know.

Going to Westella, I get on the south side of the bayou then at Eldridge I go south on the sidewalk to the business entrance, where I can transition to riding on the road. The left turn loop on Eldridge (turning east onto Enclave) does not normally pick up my bike, though there is almost always a car there to trip it. That Enclave bike lane is sub-standard and there are a lot of intersection threats; I have to take the lane a lot. Northbound is a little more straightforward though the bike lane pavement is worse.<br /><br />Have you considered using Briarhills Parkway to get from Highway 6 intersection to Enclave Parkway? I’ve ridden through that route a few times and it would avoid both THP joggers and Briar Forest. It has some traffic-calming features and my limited experience is that the stress level is low.<br /><br />Briar Forest westbound at 5:00 pm is chock-a-block at Eldridge. I have seen a few cyclists headed west at that time. My concern at rush hour (i.e., cars sitting at traffic lights) is getting right-hooked as I pass in the bike lane. I spent some time in a similar situation on Clay Road and I really had to be on my toes because they will NOT look for anything coming in the bike lane.<br /><br />No matter what route you take, it will beat driving.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15201757237708325945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1322033785733249889.post-79336825514602275782015-02-13T08:20:24.098-08:002015-02-13T08:20:24.098-08:00Thanks Dan.

Briar Forrest is tempting because it's more direct but the Sunday I rode it to the park there was a ton of debris and I can imagine with a lot cars it will be really tough. Will let you know how it goes.CyclingSpaceCityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16802557127675160689noreply@blogger.com
