"Memorial to Downtown Market Square Houston and Back MTB Guided Tour"
If you’re wondering what to do about that Mountain or Hybrid Bicycle hanging up in the garage, Come out and enjoy the scenic routes to downtown Houston Market Area from Memorial Park.
This bike tour will pass through some of our most fascinating and historic places with lush and beautiful natural scenery and urban landscaping.
The Buffalo Bayou Park offers 124 acres of beautiful scenery, skyline views, one of the best skate parks in the nation, and sloping terrain with a biking and jogging trail.
What helps me to be active in Mountain Biking all year around.:
"I keep my Mountain Bike close to the door."
"I have my gear and everything I ride with in a easy to carry tub or container where it can be easily accessed".
"I have a vehicle bike rack that allows me to load my bike on and off very quickly."
• In theory, " Remove the obstacles and gain the success."

Here's some printable information about where we are going.
