Member 57 |  Subject: New to TexasHey yall! After 8 years of living outside the great state of Texas, I've finally moved home....sort of. I grew up in the Dallas area but find myself in Houston now. To be exact, I am in the Webster/Friendswood area. I used to train a lot more than I do now. In addition to our cross country move (came from MI), my wife and I have a recent addition to the family (3 month old little girl  ) Anyway, I'm looking to get back into it. I've put on a few pounds with the stress of moving, and I am unfamiliar on where a good place to swim or bike. Where I was I had a nice 30 mile (one way) rail trail that I could bike on without worries. Here, I am completely nervous riding on roads mainly. I also would like to meet people who are into tri's and such. Anyone around this area? |

Veteran 1677    Houston, Texas | Subject: RE: New to Texas I'm in League City, so not far from Webster. We have a good Master's group that swims at The Fitness Center (five sessions a week, many triathletes). For open water swimming, there are a few lakes (Twin Lakes, 288) that people frequent often. For riding, I do a lot on the trainer during the week, but on the weekends, I like to get out early and try to beat the traffic. I head out to various FM roads toward Alvin generally. There are group rides (with triathletes) as well, but I don't do them too often. |

| 1 | Subject: RE: New to Texas Check out the Space City Cycling group. They are on Facebook, also. They have a great group every Saturday and throughout the week of rides with various skill levels. On Saturday rides, they split the total group into smaller, sub-groups based on speed (you choose which group to go in). I believe groups range from 18mph - 23+ mph. Fear of riding on the roads, especially in Houston, is normal. Riding with a group is a lot safer and will allow you to network at the same time. Good luck! |
