ヒューストンのサイクリング&ランニングについて
ヒューストンのベースマイル
ランニング: 地元の人たちは、何も考えずにZ2で淡々と走りたいとき、Buffalo Bayou TrailとかBrays Bayou Trail、White Oak Bayou Trail、TC Jester Bayou Trailを走ってるよ。Memorial Parkには3マイルのグラベルコースがあるし、Hermann Parkには2マイルの周回コースがあって、気軽にラップを刻めるんだ。Houston Harriersは、火曜はShepherd Pedestrian Bridge近くでヒル練、火曜はHolloway Fieldでトラック練、水曜はWhite Oakで距離走、土曜はMemorial Park Running Trail Centerで10~16マイル走と、ちゃんと練習してるよね。HARRA、Al Lawrence Running Club、Houston Striders、Kenyan Way、Saint Arnold Running Clubなんかが、ランニングコミュニティを盛り上げてる感じ。Chevron Houston Marathon、Aramco Houston Half Marathon、We Are Houston 5Kが、一年を通しての主要レースだね。
サイクリング: 玄関開けてすぐ乗り出したいときは、Buffalo Bayou Hike & Bike Trail、Downtown Bike Loop、White Oak、Heights、Buffalo Bayouあたりを走ってるよ。Houston Bicycle Clubは、Stude Park発のHouston Sans Car Rideとか、Urban Exploration Rides、New Year’s Day Ride、Annual Picnic Ride、Around the Loop Rideなんかのイベントをやってる。Northwest Cycling Clubは、Zube Parkでのライド、Hockleyでのライド、それに25マイルのNo Drop Rideなんかも企画してるね。Space City CyclingとBay Late Cyclingは、ガチ勢のペースラインライドを仕切ってる感じ。街は標高24mだから、ヒルクライムって言っても、ちょっとしたアップダウンとかバイユー沿いのローラー、橋、あとはインターバルで負荷をかけるくらいかな。
