South Around Lake Houston

Month of May Bucket List Ride: South Around Lake Houston
Check the ride video at https://youtu.be/-55qP1UrTu0
At the start of May there were two rides I wanted to do, bike south around Lake Houston and ride in Galveston. The weather and my time haven't cooperated with those wishes until today. I rode South Around Lake Houston today. A new route though I have done parts of it before. I rode the Humble Lions Club Ride 8 times dating back to 2009 and the Ride Like An Eagle event twice. Sadly both of those rides no longer take place. Those rides inspired me to ride around Lake Houston and the recently opened overpass on Timber Forest Drive made it possible to only bike on a short portion of W. Lake Houston Parkway in Summerwood instead of the longer distance from Summerwood to Will Clayton Parkway. The route maps of those rides below show their similarities and differences. The Humble Lions ride started in Humble and the Ride Like An Eagle started at Atascocita High School.
