Taking Some Shade On Spring Creek Greenway
I decided today was a good one to bike the Spring Creek Greenway for my monthly ride. I turned around at John Pundt Park after taking two side trips. The side streets was at the Carter Park trailhead riding on Treashwig Road and Spring Creek Drive before returning to John Pundt Park. There weren’t many people on the greenway and most of the cyclists were repeats from earlier on the greenway. On the way back to Kingwood I rode on the San Jacinto Bayou Greenway and connecting bike route streets. At the Forest Cove Community Park and pool crews were hauling away debris from the demolished town homes. No more eyesore buildings. I took a short break at Pundt Park before heading back to the US59 trailhead and another one at Jesse Jones Park to eat a couple of granola bars. So far I biked this route 7 times in 2022 and today’s 42.25 miles was the longest by .02 miles compared to the June 22nd ride. I began the ride at 9:20 AM. Maybe someday the greenway will expand along Hamblen Road to connect with the San Jacinto Bayou Greenway.
The photos were while I stopped at Jesse Jones Park to eat a snack.
I appreciated the shade on the greenway to help not feel as hot though the temperature was in the 90’s. I didn’t realize the wind was as high until I checked the weather after finishing at 1:09 PM. Weather conditions: start 86 (humidity 76%, dew point 77), partly cloudy, wind S 8 mph; finish 95 (humidity 50%, dew point 73), partly cloudy, wind S 10 mph gusts 18 mph.
