Galveston

[LandElephant]

This might not interest many, but as I pursue "Wierd Texas" I map 2 loops of the Galveston Tree Sculptures.  So you understand, I was snowed in for 2 days this last weekend in Amarillo.

Anyhow, I was planning on riding my Ural from Angleton to Surfside then up the Bluewater Hwy.  I don't go fast but could meet somewhere in Galveston.

Date: Sunday March 3rd. Time: TBD.

If interested let me know.

I would like to meet up with you...I've been wanting to do the tree sculptures...plus I would love to see your Ural...think I would like to have one...don't tell hg

My route is very simple. I will be taking FM 523 around Angleton to FM 332. Then into Surfside. Then up the Bluewater Hwy to Galvston. I have 2 loops. One starts south on the Bluewater Hwy (12330 Jenkins Rd) and catches about 14.5 miles and I think 12 of the trees. The second starts (the other one finishes) at1823 Ave L by San Jacinto Park. It's about 4.5 miles and probably best done on foot. It gets about 24 of the trees.

As I said the Ural is slow but to me a hoot. Tell me which route and I'll find a spot or we can meet. I'll be rambling from Angleton. Not as fast as your Spyder (which if I remember was hot looking).

I'll probably leave Angleton around 9 ish.

OBTW, we've met before. Once at Inzane, and once at your BBQ.

I have never been south of Kema on a bike. I just found out that I will be home alone this weekend and a peek at some trees in Galveston sounds exciting. I googled the galveston sculpturred tree tour and it looks neat. I could come down 288 and be in Angleton at 9. I did the mid winter ride last weekend and don't want to stop the fun.  Let e know of a place we can meet in Angleton.

Ok, Buc-cee's at 9:00 am off Rt 35 & 288. Keep in mind I' m going to be on my Ural. Can get up to 55 with a strong tail wind. I'll offer a stop at The Spot afterwards.

I shrunk the walking part to 3.5 miles.  Longest part is probably 0.6 miles.
