Subject: RE: Pools and Bike Routes in Bryan/College Station Safe route on the bike, kind of tough as you will be sharing with cars no matter what, esp on a Sat afternoon. I know my 'go to' ride is parking at Lick Creek park and then taking Rock Praire towards Peach Creek to Hwy 6. From that point you can make a loop along the feeder road (wide shoulder ) to William D Fitch (which has bike lanes ) to Rock Praire back to the Park. Or at Hwy 6 go under the overpass and turn left on the feeder roads and go awhile and turn around at one of the under passes to get back to Peach Creek. The feeder roads are not that busy south of town and have good shoulders, just chipseal. You will get the rolling hill practice. One last long route (though Sun morning are best for this route ) is to go under Hwy 6 and just keep riding until you get to Hwy 105 and back (about 45 miles ) you will get some hills and then you will hit flat, but most likely it will be windy. This road is a bit more travelled unless you go Sunday mornings and there really isn't much shoulder at all.
If you want to PM me, I can give you a couple more routes. There are some routes posted online, I would just have to do some searching to find them.
If you want OWS practice, Lake Bryan is always an option, it is $5 to get in and there is a 'beach' area were it is sort of shallow and blocked off from boats. Edited by Philothea0806 2013-07-23 11:21 AM
