Use the meetup drop pin to find the meeting spot. Willow Waterhole is HUGE and entering that name will not take you to where we will meet. https://maps.app.goo.gl/ufDvLfDK2X75DyuX9 29.653336,-95.471215

This will be a +/- 13 mile ride. Willow Waterhole is a huge retention pond that has a paved trail on the upper section and crushed granite trails in the lower basin. We will stay on the upper section if there are any road bikes on our ride.

This ride will be on concrete/asphalt, a few blocks along the sidewalk of Chimney Rock rd and then a mile or so through neighborhood streets.

There is another route we could take that would take us to Sims bayou. We would ride on some sidewalks, then some neighbord streets.

Before the day of the ride, fill your tires with air, check your brakes, oil your chain. Be familiar with changing gears on your bike.

When riding with the group, ride as if you are riding by yourself, look both ways when crossing intersections. I have extra yellow construction vests. Ask me for one if you would like to borrow for the bike ride.

After the ride, at Willow Waterhole where we start, is a chalk art festival 11am-4pm.
