Kemah Bridge Ride

Meet by the duck pond at Bay Area park, close to the exit. Plenty of parking there along with restrooms.

A longer ride (33-36 miles) with a bail-out at around 29 miles total (turn right on Bay Area Blvd from Space Center). Some short cuts are available if you decide you need a breather. We have a great route set up, with the bridge in the first third and maybe a stop at Bucee's at just about the mid-point. Some high traffic roads, but most will have a rideable shoulder, some even a decent shoulder! Be aware, there will be some bad railroad tracks, so now is a good time to practice some bike handling before we get there.

Here is a page with some maps:

The turn at onto 2nd Street from Todville in Seabrook is there to get a clean, straight run at the bridge. You can continue on Todville and go under the bridge and then take a turning ramp on to it, which avoids the heavy traffic at the intersection with 146. The ramp is fine for our more powerful cyclists, and I would hope that eventually we'd only use that route. Let me know which way y'all think is best.
