Welcome to the Outdoors

Hello my name is Lorraine and I enjoy the great outdoors every chance I get. After the busy week at work my weekends are usually spent outside riding my bicycle around different parts of the city. You would not believe how different the city looks and the things you notice when you cruise slower on a relaxing bike ride compared to driving fast in your car. My boyfriend and I bike ride together along with my little furry companion Mr. Ferguson an 11 year old Pekingese on a basket attached to the front of my bike. He enjoys being outdoors just as much as I do. We have explored many parks, subdivisions, and bike routes and by far riding through the Heights area was the hardest because of the many hills we encountered. It is fun when you get to the top of the hill and ride down real fast but we usually ride those hills for a great workout. For a more relaxing ride we like to start at Del Mar C because it offers a peaceful ride without much traffic. Then we make our way to Jacamen Road to reach the longest bike route in Laredo on Loop 20. It is best to ride during the day because it gets so dark in that area. Once on the Loop 20 bike route we ride to Del Mar Boulevard slowly making our way to the Starbucks for a little refreshment then back to Del Mar C. The estimated time is about 3 hours but you don't even feel it because it is such a pleasant experience.
