Stretching: Spring Creek Greenway – City Place – San Jacinto Bayou Greenway

Texbiker.net Posted on by

After almost 2 years since my last bike ride on the Spring Creek Greenway to I-45 and hearing that it extended to Exxon Mobil in Springwoods I figured to see for myself on Memorial Day. The Giro d’Italia was over letting me start early. I rolled away on my Canyon Endurace CF 7 at 9:22 AM (not as early as I wanted). The June 6th, 2022 ride was 50.41 miles long. With the added destination today I left off some of the streets because I wasn’t sure what the total mileage would be. Also I would skip the side streets at Carter Park trailhead and John Pundt Park. When I arrived at the US59 trailhead several cyclists and cars with racks were around.

The recent rains and flooding was evident in places on the greenway. The greenway leaving John Pundt Park back to US59 was blocked but there was another way to get around it. Cyclists were out in force. My video probably captures a tenth of them. I’m thinking part of increased cyclists came from the Springwoods connection since I saw a number riding in that area. I rode around City Place where some stores and a hotel were at before heading back. I looked for a convenience store to buy a drink but only saw Starbucks. Fortunately I had my CamelBak for hydration but with the heat I wanted to conserve water for the ride back to the San Jacinto Bayou Greenway and Kingwood. The ride distance came in at 51.45 miles when I finished at 1:56 PM. Strava results: (3 of the 6 medals) PR on Check your MPH & duck under the RR track! (3:11), PR on This Part (4:49), and 3rd fastest time on 45 to DJ (12:22). Link to the AXS.SRAM.com ride report. A number of cyclists rode MTB’s, maybe I should ride my Trek Marlin 8 MTB there. I saw one single speed with gold rims, maybe 2 e-bikes, and 2 electric skateboards.

Trek Marlin 8 MTB Comfort Ride. May’s Goal Achieved.

Texbiker.net Posted on by

Today I rode my Trek Marlin 8 MTB on the Kingwood trails and a few streets. I want to get comfortable riding the Trek since this was only my third ride on it. The week was 200+ miles and with only 7 miles to reach May’s 749 mile goal seemed like a good time to ride the Trek. I rode by several village pools and all were open with people enjoying them. Riding 14.45 miles put me over my goal with several days to spare.

Weather: Start 89 degrees, humidity 72%, dew point 79.2, cloud cover 35%, wind S 10 mph gusts 14 mph; Finish 91 degrees, humidity 69%, dew point 79.2, cloud cover 35%, wind S 13 mph gusts 17 mph.
