The Better-half and I rode Galveston to Surfside back on Good Friday. It's been open awhile now ... well, sort-a.
We paid 2 bucks to cross the bridge. On the otherside, right at the end of the bridge there was a sign that said the road was closed. Heck with that. I wasn't going to give the guy another 2 bucks to drive right back across that little bridge! We rode around the sign and kept going.
There were maybe 4 places that we did a horse shoe on gravel around a washout that was being repaired. We pretty much had the road and what little beach there is to ourselfs.
