Today's plan similar to yesterday's. Easy pace 2h30min. Jumping on the MKT trail. This is a rail-to-trail line. It opened a few months ago, my first time.
Lots of folks out today. The trail is OK for rec riding. No good for training. Too many cross streets. Hard to imagine this being an active rail line through the middle of the neighborhood. This is just before the White Oak Trestle...
The trail then runs next to the Sawyer Heights Target, and continues eastward...
I thought the trail went all the way to downtown. It doesn't so I double back, head down Sawyer Street to Memorial Dr, then pickup the Buffalo Bayou trail there, at the Mazola Disc Golf Course...
This trail does go into downtown. I ride the west side of Buffalo Bayou all the way to University of Houstond Downtown, then double back.
Then double back and cross they bayou into the CBD...
This puts me right into the center of downtown.
Nice contrast between greenspace and metroscape today! I zip across downtown, and take a second to watch the boats at Discovery Green...
A pass by Enro*cough*Minute Maid Park...
I cross back via the Elysian Street Viaduct, and pick up the White Oak Trail, at Stude Park...
I haven't met my time goal at this point. Close enough. I turn for the house. I'm hungry!
