With shorter rides to start, averaging 50 mi per day there&#8217;s more to do &amp; see &amp; more flexibility for end of the day stops starting in Florida.<br \/>\n3. I like Florida<br \/>\n4. I&#8217;ve read with the winds off the Gulf, more often the prevailing wind is from the east. We&#8217;ll see! (When you&#8217;re riding you always have the headwind!)<br \/>\n5. More familiar to less familiar.<br \/>\n6. I like different.

It starts on Hausman road near Loop 1604 and will run about 3.25 miles to nearly Interstate 10. This will allow access to the shopping centers at DeZevala and I10 which includes Sam\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Club, Walmart, Home Depot, Good Sports, Goodwill, Party City, HEB, Office Max.<br \/>\nMany of the stores I have closer access to, but considering this path is going right past some college housing, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sure it will increase ridership out here in the suburbs of San Antonio.
