Subject: Hilly runs in Houston???
Anyone have any good places for a longer run with rolling hills in or around the Houston area? I'm looking for something in the 10-15 mile range. I live in Spring and spent the afternoon scoping out Hwy 149 in Montgomery (state park) but the road shoulders were a bit too narrow for my liking.

I would like to keep it within 45-min to an hour drive from Spring if possible. The farther away it is, the harder it is to talk myself into the drive.

Thanks for the help.



Edit: Whoops, seem to have posted this as a poll...

fm 1097 between willis and montgomery is pretty nice and I see people run down it all the time (I ride my bike on it alot).  Many of the neighborhoods off 1097 by Lake Conroe have nice rolling hills.  Send me a PM if interested and I will let you know where I live so you can map some elevations here.  Also buffalo springs (corner of 105 and 149) in Montgomery has some hills, but you would need to repeat some of the roads.  I want to go run in Huntsville by Sam Houston State.  They have some monsters on campus (in Texas terms of course).

Hey Brett.  Chappell Hill from Spring might be a little bit more the 45 minutes, but not much.  Park at the visitors center and head out on north 1155 until you hit 2193.  ~12 miles round trip if I remember right.  Decent shoulders the entire way except across one small bridge. I've ridden there a bit and run a few times.  Weekday traffic isn't bad and weekend traffic, especially early Sunday, is almost nothing. 

PM me your email and I can shoot you a good map.
