I went ahead and mapped out my Pleasant Valley route:

I started and finished this route at Gatewood Pavilion, 4917 Duck Creek Drive, as it is near my house. I suggest revising this part of the course as you see fit to just pass on through. There's certainly not any reason to drive or ride to that pavilion and then start riding the loop, just get on wherever is handy.

If you take Curtis north to Commerce, you'll find Commerce "closed", but I was pleased to find that they had made a bike path so you can still go through there.


I've been watching them build this water tower over the last year or so, right near Curtis and Commmerce.


An old house. I like stuff like this. I wonder how many kids were raised in that old house, and what memories it holds for somebody somewhere.


The nature trail. If you go out Pleasant Valley Road to Elm Grove Road, then turn left into the parking lot instead of right. I think it's about a mile loop of smooth wide trail. I normally ride thorugh there looking for snakes, but have yet to see any.


Made this shot coming down Main Street in Rowlett. It's at the Museum.


I tried putting this into Google maps and had a lot of trouble there. The map kept not wanting to move when I tried to grab it and move it, and then I'd mess up somehow and the whole route I'd input would just disappear. Tried it two or three times and never did get it in, no problems but slowness at Mapmyride.
