Subject: RE: Memorial Hermann Ironman Texas : Official ThreadThe first 85 or 90 miles have very little traffic. For the first 30-miles, it's too early in the day for traffic to be very heavy. For the middle section of the course (north of 105) the roads are lightly travelled, so traffic really isn't much of an issue. For the last 20 or 25 miles, traffic is heavy and riders need to exercise caution. However, where traffic is really bad, the shoulders are BIG. FM 1488 has the heaviest traffic, but the shoulder is wide enough in most places to ride 3 or 4 abreast. In 2012, they did a great job getting bikes through the intersections with no delays.......not so with the cars. They were backed up for a few miles in some spots. |
