Ride Terry Hershey to George Bush
Details
**Check for updates
8am rollout at the beltway parking for Terry Hershey Park. The parks can be somewhat challenging due to the wind and total about 36ish miles.
We would like to get enough participation so that we can make this a NO DROP ride for the new riders or people with hybrid bikes so PLEASE RSVP if you are interested, tell us your comfortable ride speed, and we will figure something out.
We will plan on 1 or 2 rest stops depending on how everyone feels, one at a Walgreens and the other at a picnic table at Hwy 6 on the return, but we recommend that you bring plenty of fluids and some kind of snack.
A word of caution... This is a park. There will be walkers, joggers, runners, strollers, other bikes, dogs, squirrels, rabbits and who knows what else. Safety is a big concern. All of Terry Hershey Park will be ridden at a pace that keeps everyone around us safe. Drafting should be avoided until we cross Hwy 6. We will talk more on safety prior to ride start.
Don't worry if you think the 36 miles is too far! This route does not make a loop. If at any point you think that you have gone nearly half way of what you can manage, TURN AROUND! That's the beauty of this place.
*Bring spare tubes, water, snacks, pump or compressed air, sunglasses, helmet, tire irons, or anything else you may think you need!
