   Bayou City Outdoors - A Walk in the Woods
   AKA Hiking Memorial Park Trails
   January 26, 2014
   Meet at 8:45am and leave at 9:00am
   We meet in the Rugby Parking lot
   N Picnic Ln
   Houston, TX 77007
   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. Even with the loss of trees from the drought, it is still green and wooded.
   Join us for an hour and a half quick-paced hike through some of the lesser-known (and a little more adventuresome) trails our park has to offer. Wear tennis shoes or hiking boots, 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. As long as it is cool out (70 or less), this is a dog friendly event that your canines can enjoy with us. They do need to be on leash and don’t forget your doggy bags.
   After the hike, a group is going to the Black Walnut Café @ 5512 Memorial Drive. For breakfast and coffee.
   Here’s what our friends at GHORBA.org have to say:
   “Memorial Park offers a convenient escape from the concrete jungle of Houston with seven miles of dirt trails. Trails are marked and named by their “Color” of trail markers.”

   Bayou City Outdoors Farmer’s Market Bike Ride
   
   
   
   Onion Creek
   
   
   
   3106 White Oak Dr, Houston, TX 77007
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Life in H-town is constantly evolving, in a large part thanks to our local Farmers Markets. Did you know many of our local resturantures shop at the Farmers Markets each week for handcrafted cheeses, local produce, baked goods and locally sourced organic meats? Our job is to pedal fast enough to beat them to the market but slow enough to enjoy the ride
   ). No problem for us! We’ll use the side streets, trails, and residential areas in the heart of Houston to meander our way around.
   
   
   This is a very social ride (we chat a lot) and all levels of riders are welcome. We will start the morning off with a leisurely coffee at Onion Creek and then cruise through 2-3 markets to shop for fresh produce, sauces, jams, and bread. This is a 12-15 mile ride that lasts about three hours so bring plenty of water and a backpack to carry your goodies!
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Plan on sticking around after the ride to enjoy lunch at Onion Creek Cafe. They are a locally owned eatry and one of the first of it’s kind. Good food, good brews and good friends!
   
   
   
   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/.
   
   
   If you are a member of Bayou City Outdoors and do not have a bike, we can loan you a bike for the ride. But you MUST call the office 1 to 2 weeks in advance to arrange for the loaner bike.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Meet at Onion Creek, 3106 White Oak Dr, Houston, TX 77007. Please DO NOT park in the Onion Creek lot – there is parking on the surrounding streets but look out for ‘no parking’ signs. Meet at 8:00AM – leave at 8:30AM to Noon. Free for members and non-members alike.
