I thought today’s bike ride would normal but to add some variety I changed the Atascocita – Walden – Huffman route a little. I rolled away at 10:18 AM on my Cervelo Caledonia bike. This was a little later than I wanted but okay. Too many things to do before leaving. I changed the streets through Elm Grove Village, Sherwood Trails Village, and Bear Branch Village. When I reached Pinehurst Trail Drive I turned to the right to get to the Atascocita Hike & Bike Trail to ride from W. Lake Houston Parkway to Farmingham Road instead. Riding east over Lake Houston I saw another cyclist stopped I thought to repair a flat tire. Traffic was heavy so I didn’t cross over to see if I could help. At FM2100 I decided not to ride south to Spanish Cove Drive and turned north on FM2100. From Huffman I rode west on FM1960 back over Lake Houston. I turned right onto Atascocita Shores Drive. At the second street I caught up with the cyclist I saw on the causeway. I stopped to see if I could help. He had used all of his CO2 cartridges after patching the rear tire. I offered my pump. His name is Mark Williams. While he removed the rear tire and put a tube in we chatted about biking. With the tube in and pumped up he was ready to ride. I rode on and he passed me around Sunny Shores Drive. What started as a typical bike ride turned into a nice visit with Mark and helping him so he wouldn’t have to walk all the way back to Kingwood. A great day! I finished the ride at 2:08 PM.
A 102-acre purchase adds another link to the endeavor that will connect both cities by 2036.
The Great Springs Project aims to someday create a whole new route between San Antonio and Austin, without driving a mile on I-35. And it’s not for people in a rush, either.
That’s because those traveling this route won’t be driving a car. They’ll be riding a bike, or walking.
The Great Springs Project’s Emma Lindrose-Siegel explained that it “is a nonprofit organization incorporated in Texas with a two-fold mission. The first is to build a hike and bike trail connecting the four great springs of Central Texas from the Alamo to the Capitol.” …

Distractions abound to delay starting a bike ride. This morning I messed around with a new computer and didn’t start the ride as early as I planned. Rather than starting before 9 AM the ride began at 9:44 AM. I chose a northerly route taking me farther north than I’ve rode since July 7th, Kingwood – FM1485 – Kingwood. The route averages about 33 miles and I covered 32.4 miles. To reach my goal for the month I need to ride 29.2 miles every day. I am behind that pace now but hope to make up the deficit a little each day. Once I left Kingwood I didn’t see much debris from the hurricane but I did see several trucks hauling debris. I limited my max gears to the 35×15 on my Canyon Endurace CF 7 bike as I rebuild my fitness. No neck or shoulder muscle pain today so I’m making progress. I finished at 12:28 PM before the heat maxed out. Several days this week could hit 100+.

Last week, while housesitting for my wife’s friends who live near Helotes, I thought I’d make a quick trip up Interstate 10 to Boerne to check out the city’s small network of public trails.
The fast-growing town, with a population that’s expected to spike 24% between 2021 and 2026, now has three distinct pathways — the 1.75-mile Cibolo Creek Trail, the 1.4-mile Old No. 9 Trail and the 0.5-mile Currey Trail. This doesn’t include the six miles of trails at the …
