About 2-3 minutes after AB took off leading the group, we hit the concrete path and headed out. As predicted, there was some congestion on the backside of powerline (RIP). In retrospect, we could have taken the other path running parallel to this section but it wasn’t that big of a deal.
The ride down to the greenbelt was uneventful but we never caught the main pack. The different tolerances of riders willing to run lights, stop signs, etc. really shows up on this section.

The plan lays out a two-decade goal of more than tripling the mileage of bike lanes in Houston, with a focus on high-quality …
