Details
Un-hosted, I have to work early the next day. Post comments when you arrive to meet others.
Ride 15 miles, give or take. We will meet at Market Square on the corner of Milam and Congress. In the ground is a sign in tile "Hat Store" next to the dog park across from Barnaby's Café. Parking option? City of Houston Lot "H" next to Fonde' recreation center 110 Sabine St, Houston, TX 77007 There are a few lots/garages adjacent to Market Square park ($10). Next to Spaghetti Warehouse is $7 @ 901 Commerce St 77002, thier restroom is convenient. The actual Crucial Matter meeting, before the ride heads out, will be at approximately 7:20ish on Market Square across the street from Treebeards, 315 Travis. They will announce a few of the guidelines and which stops they will be making. Approximately 14-18mile ride. The ride goes to 3 locations. At the 1st two stops the leader callsout "10 minutes" AFTER the last person has ordered their food to allow everyone a chance to eat. At the 3rd stop you can stay as long as you like. I generally stay about 30 minutes and head back to market square with a group of riders. THERE MIGHT BE ONLY ONE LOCATION WITH A BATHROOM NEARBY (GROCERY STORE OR OTHER RESTAURANTS) SO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ANY BATHROOMS NEARBY. Market square has one toilet connected to the café building. Just ask the workers at the café and they will unlock the bathroom. The door automatically locks after each person so catch the door if you see someone exit. Crucial Matter website:"We started off as a small group of friends that just likes to ride, have some good food and then some drinks afterwards. We get together for rides and just about anything bike related, eating related or drinking related. Oh, and of course elotes and TACOS." The way our rides work: Before the ride, we have a riders meeting. Please pay attention. Keep the pace of the leader, don’t jump ahead unless you know where you are going. This helps limit confusion on who to follow and keeps the pace. We meet at a certain time, and we leave at a certain time. Pay attention to the times posted and be on time. We are patient and wait for people. We try our hardest to not drop someone on our rides by adjusting speed and having a sweeper. If you decide to ride with us, be patient, not everyone is an expert rider like you that can maintain 20mph as a cruising speed. The stops take time specially if the group is big. Be patient. Safety is a priority. We stay as much as we can to the right to let cars go through. We don’t cork intersections, instead we have people there guiding you on where to turn. The route will be posted right after the riders meeting as we take off. Just in case people fall back
