Houston: Addicks-Tanner Trail Update: Probably 2018
by flangehead | www.bikeforums.net
Harris County Parks and MUDs 341 and 370 are progressing on the Addicks-Tanner Trails project, which will connect the crosswalks at Ginger Ponds and Tanner to the top of Addicks Dam. A map of the project is attached.
The layout of the trails and resolution of the associated right-of-way issues are now complete. The Corps of Engineers’ permit is in progress, and construction cannot be scheduled until that is issued. Though it might happen sooner, construction in 2018 is most likely.
If you have any questions, please contact me.

Marathon to Sanderson
Saturday February 25, 2017, 56 miles (90 km) – Total so far: 1,240 miles (1,996 km)
Marathon to Sanderson. 56 miles. It was a nice treat to be riding again. The body is completely comfortable and the pedaling is easy. Decent road surface mostly flat with little traffic kept it simple. The logistics of this section work best with a shorter distance but I would have loved to go further. Instead I worked on the bike and did laundry and tidying.
A couple of bulls on the road caused me to wonder how (or whether) to ride by them when a …
