On early Sunday morning August 15, 2004, Erickson Software participated in
the 2004
Woodlands midnight bicycle ride. Our four riders did the 20 mile route,
but both routes are listed.
For more routes, visit the
tour list. Hey, and buy
something, too.

When you ride at night, you need a light. The Blackburn headlight
is especially good. The LEDs are bright and efficient - a standard light will start to dim within an hour, but the Blackburn
goes on and on! |

And remember to bring something to drink! |

The route map was assembled from a pastiche of
images from Yahoo! Maps and the route drawn
in by hand. It's most useful for general guidance - you won't be able to use it
to follow the trail, but if you're confused about some segment and you're
intimately familiar with the Woodlands it might be useful.
Yeah Yeah
Note: Of course, the official name is "The Erickson Software Bicycle
Tour" and the "of The Woodlands" part of the title of this page is merely
descriptive.
