pcsanity,

I've got a buddy that lives in league city, so I ride out there sometimes. a few people told me to ride the kemah bridge - since I was missing the hills of my beloved riding city of Austin (where I lived for a year). Of course, the bridge was an easy climb but a great view.

anyhow, I cut through Atascocita one in a while while on a ride. I mostly jump on the beltway (at old humble road) and ride the shoulder lane. been lucky so far, but I only do it when the traffic is scarce. the I head out to lake houston via the lake houston pkwy and then head over to duessen park and ride some loops out there before heading back home. it's a nice ride, I think.

as for the group ride in Kingwood, well I just don't like that "drop anyone that can't keep up" attitude. a group ride should be helpful and fun for everyone. if they're going to drop people, then why have a group ride in the first place?

anyhow, perhaps we will see each other out on the road sometime. you can't miss me, as I ride in my treasured USPS jersey (which was a gift from an old friend). also, I've got a bike tattoo on my left calf.
