About
From the starting point at the Pedal Party World HQ, enjoy a scenic pedal across Buffalo Bayou and into the lower Heights area. Little Woodrow's, BB's Cafe, Christian's Tailgate, Onion Creek, Bobcat Teddy's Icehouse and more await you on White Oak Drive up Heights Blvd to Washington Ave and back to Pedal Party HQ. This is a great route for groups that just want to pedal.
This route is a little more adventurous and requires a bit more pedaling than any of the other routes. There's nothing severe but, fair warning, there's a small hill you'll be conquering. It might be a little work going up, but coming down is AWESOME!
