Bessies Creek 24

Good news and bad news.

​

There will be no Bessies Creek races this year - 2024.

​

We drove the route today - 15 September - and discovered that 2.2 miles of our route along TX 159 is being rebuilt.

​

The good news is that once that work is complete, the 12.2 mile loop route will work well for the races with a wide shoulder along the 2.2 mile section of the busy TX 159. The remainder of the loop has low traffic with much of it along winding country lanes.

​

Here is the final Route:

​​

We expect to be able to run the races later next year.

TxDot says they need 16 months to rebuild the 7 miles stretch currently under contract. Work commenced in May and quite a bit has been done, so maybe we will not have to wait too long

​

La Grange is 90 miles northwest of Houston along Highway 71 and 60 miles southeast of Austin along Highway 71. The closest airport is Austin.
