SpiderMike,
Except for the Bastrop/Buecher State Parks, which you can bypass, day one of the BPMS150
has more difficult climbs in my opinion. The stretch after lunch from Bellville to Fayetteville can be brutal for us flatlanders. I learned that the hard way my 1st year riding the MS150. The Kemah bridge is similar to the hills in the state parks, steep up and steep down, only there are several of them in a row.
