I would suggest taking 290 to rt36 atBrenham go south on 36 to 59 at Rosenburg then 59 to Mo. City. It's a longer route but avoids most of the real crazy traffic. 59 may get a little heavy near Mo City but it is the least of all evils. I used to live in Mo City a few years ago and now live in Bellville. Have used this route often getting to the SW side. I'm sure others will have alternate routes so you will have choices.
Good Luck, ride safe, Mark

Sounds like you plan on coming to Mo City then go to Austin. Where are you coming from?

We have Street Vibrations here in Reno, not as big as ROT but still thousands of bikes. I can't wait to be there in Texas, just love your state.

OK, now thatI know where you're coming from... I change my route. depending on your time, you can eithertravelfrom SA on I-10, turn south at The Grand Parkway #99 to US Alt 90 Northeast to Missouri City, which is probably the quickest - but not the most scenic. the best "bike" ride is to pick up US Alt 90 in Seguin (about 20 miles East of SA) and follow it to Missouri City. Alt 90 parallels I-10.

Leaving to go to Austin I would get on Beltway 8 (try to avoid rush hour) and go north and take 290 to Austin. The only bad part about the Beltway is the bridges are really high and have low guard rails. It a but nerve wrecking the first time you you exit and have to ride into the clouds. Between Missouri City and 290 you will need $2.50 worth of quarters for each bike unless you want to sit in line at the full serv window.
