How to ride McAllen to do some errands, have lunch and enjoy a 30 mile bike ride. Partial video of trip, this video from the corner of State Highway 107 on Bicentennial Blvd to Northgate Lane to Main Street to Auburn Roundabout to Bicentennial Hike Bike Trail to Jackson Ave to Main Street to Interstate 2 overpass to Uvalde to La Plazza to Wichita to 10th Street to 2nd Street Loop & Trail 2nd Street overpass Interstate 2 and to Trenton Road (and gopro camera battery ran out). Can never quite get a full loop bike ride. Note that I don’t like the Interstate 2 surface intersections, I prefer the 2nd Street and Main Street overpasses. I used to use the Bicentennial overpass, though it had problems and was removed.
