I was planning on leaving Houston sometime in the morning as well. I figured on taking the semi-standard route of US 90, then a route TBD up into Fredericksburg. When and where would you want to meet?

We were wondering too. We may go to sister's house in schulenburg on thursday. She lives north of I-10 about four miles on 77 towards LaGrange. We'll spend the night there visiting. Thinking about cruising up to 71 from there and then to the Fredricksburg on 290. Nothing is final on this yet.

We should be leaving about 9 a.m. from Pearland. I don't want to ride in the work traffic if I can help it. We have no route set at this point, but Highway 90 sounds like a good option without blasting down the interstate...  Hay  Jimmyt |

I don't know about that whole "before everyone wakes up" thing. That sounds awfully early. How about I meet Jimmy in Pearland at 9, then anyone else can either meet us there, or catch us in Sugarland just before we head out? I'm working up a route, and I think I have something that looks good, but I'll post it later. Who's joining us? Eli can get through Houston at 0500, and have a VERY long breakfast at IHOP, and we'll pick him up in Rosenberg....  Mark |

I would think that we could make 9:45 in Rosenberg, or 9:30 in Sugarland, or whatever you like. This is my idea for a route: https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=77586&daddr=Pearland,+TX+to:US-59+S+to:29.54484,-96.17424+to:29.4473084,-96.9209501+to:Fredericksburg,+TX&hl=en&ll=29.625996,-97.487183&spn=3.170357,5.817261&sll=29.893043,-96.954346&sspn=3.161924,5.817261&geocode=FXRpwwEdBeZV-inL3DjZOWI_hjGuVocca6VWlQ%3BFa8awwEd4QxS-impM_6mkFhAhjHuzKX0B3W7yg%3BFX7BwwEdRglN-g%3BFYjRwgEdYH9E-ilfj39jsG5BhjHHjnxVgviHFw%3BFYxUwQEdiho5-ikrs7uHyrpDhjHUC1eNrVhebQ%3BFYH2zQEdUFUb-il3arKvVMBbhjGbwjFfsDuvxA&oq=78734&t=h&mra=pr&via=3,4&z=8
It incorporates some really good roads in the San Marcos-to-points-west area, and the only big highway is getting through or around Houston. Once we get to Rosenberg, it's two-laners most (if not all) of the way. Mark |
