E-bike advocates lobby Woodlands for pathway access

Jeff Forward | www.houstonchronicle.com

Advocates of electric bicycles, stand-up scooters and skateboard-like vehicles want The Woodlands to change a policy that bans motorized vehicles on the more than 200 miles of walking and bicycling paths.

Day 10 – Ride (6) – DeRidder, LA to MeMom’s Country Store, TX: 2 Milestones and other fun stuff

Sunday April 25, 2021, 47 miles (76 km) – Total so far: 221 miles (356 km) This morning we were back to absolutely perfect riding conditions!

On the way to our starting point, we passed the point on our route where we turn off of US190. There were signs saying the road was closed. So, naturally, we went to see.

Day 11 – Ride (7) – MeMom’s Country Store, TX to Honey Island, TX

Monday April 26, 2021, 44 miles (70 km) – Total so far: 264 miles (426 km) Today was our last day in the middle portion of the Stage. We were once again blessed with great weather and (for the most part) pretty good roads.

Wednesday April 28, 2021, 41 miles (66 km) – Total so far: 305 miles (492 km) Another day without rain – but it’s coming! In the meantime, Ride (8) is in the books.

With our move yesterday, we had an 82 mile drive to get back to Honey Island (which is an odd name for essentially an intersection with a general store). We left the KOA at 8 and got on the road at 10:15 under partly cloudy skies with temperatures in the mid-70’s.

Trivia question of the day: …

Days 14 – Ride (8) – Shepherd, TX to New Waverly, TX

Thursday April 29, 2021, 36 miles (57 km) – Total so far: 341 miles (549 km) Ride (9) is done; one more to go – maybe!

The rain today was to hold off until early afternoon, so we left the campground at 8 and got on the road at 9:40. …

About Rick Ankrum

In 1999 I had a burning desire to create a web site focused on Texas bicycling. Over the years this web site has existed many people have visited. As I think of information I need to bicycle I add them to the web site.
