I had to tell myself 3 or 4 times to get up and finish the ride. I last rode this route on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/32011520\">May 1st<\/a><\/strong> though another ride on a different route followed most of the same streets to SH 242 and then continued on SH 242 to Old Houston Road.
