    BCO - A Walk in the Woods

    Aka Hiking Memorial Park Trails 

    November 20, 2016

    Meet at 8:45, start 9 AM to 10:30 AM

    Memorial Park by the rugby/soccer field parking lot

    N Picnic Lane Houston, TX 77007 (see map @ BCO Calendar)


     
    Memorial Park, known as the Central Park of H-town, is an amazing 1466-acre park (one of the largest in the county) right inside the loop! Trails are a mix of hard packed dirt, sand, trees and tree roots. It is wooded and wild in the middle of the city! 

     

    Join us for an hour and a half quick-paced hike through some of the lesser-known (and more adventuresome) trails our park has to offer.  Wear tennis shoes or hiking boots, as it’s easy to bang a toe on a tree root.  And, there’s some "elevation" in the park that you wouldn’t expect from just driving by. Remember to bring water; there are no water fountains along the trails. 

     

    After the hike, a group goes out for breakfast and coffee.

     

    Please, check the meeting location map on the Bayou City Outdoors site calendar before you head over to the park.  It’s a big park and we try and leave on time!

    Have you checked out the outdoor artwork adorning the city these days?


     
    Graffiti has moved from outlaw to street art, and some of the top artists and newcomers are spraying it up, right here in Houston. We’ll be riding around H-town while checking out some of the more prominent and promising graphics to be seen.

    Most of the ride today is on the streets of Houston, so DON’T forget your helmet – if you do, we will have a few to lend.


     
    Want to preview some of the art we will be seeing?


     
    Check out www.gulfcoastgraffiti.com This local site has a plethora of art and is the brainchild of Joel Carpenter.  Occassinally he will drop in on the ride and share some behind the sceens buzz notes.

     

    We’ll wind down the day at Niko Niko’s patio right where we started –Greek food, beer and sodas are available. So bring some cash, your wheels, and your helmet and see art like you have never seen it before, from the seat of your bike!

     

    No bike? No worries! You can pick up a bike from the B-Cycle kiosk around town  http://houston.bcycle.com/home.aspx Or, go to one of your local bikes shops like:  West End Bicycles @ www.westendbikes.com Bike Barn -@  http://bikebarn.com/ Planetary Cycles @  http://planetarycycles.com/ or Houston Cycling Centres @ http://northwestcyclery.com/
     
     
    Meet at Market Square Park in front of Niko Niko's - Parking: There is an abundance of on-street parking in downtown.  Metered on-street parking is free all day on Sundays. Never park at a red meter or if the street has red markings.  Milam and Travis streets along the park are also considered mobility lanes so you cannot park there from 7-9 am or 4-6 pm.

     

    $5 parking is also available at Market Square Garage at 300 Milam, which is conveniently located across the street from the park.
