This week's route is a trip back to the Montopolis bridge. This route is very mellow on the hills and some nice smooth skating all the way out to the bridge. We will start at the Long Center terrace and do our standard downtown start, down Riverside over the ped bridge, around and through Seaholm, over the Butterfly bridge, left on Nueces to 3rd St bike lanes take that to Convention Center and join 4th st bike lanes, take those to Waller or even Navasota for more time on the ped path, then head south to 2nd ave take that to Tillery. Then a left on Tillery up to 5th where we will skate til we join up with the trail that will take us to the bridge. This will be the biggest climb but it's nice smooth concrete. At the top the bridge pavement isn't necessarily skateable but there is a sidewalk right next to the paved part. We can hang at the bridge, take a pic and get a breather then double back and head to home base. There is an option of skating towards the river if people are up for it but if not we will retrace our steps through downtown to home base.
