BTW... there are usually around 16 bikes on the train headed south out of Howard station (well a bunch get on at Kramer) but it is nice to see so many bikes on the train.

I've been using the Bratton Lane route 3 times a week for 3 weeks now.  Yep - I saw what looks to be a widening situation -- they have cut the brush way back and fenced it off.  I see a worker there often, but I am usually riding as quickly as I can to get through that spot.  I have been happy with how many people cross into the oncoming lane as they pass me.

I had to check this morning after i read this post, but sure enough on my '95 Trek 930 is the Freewheeling sticker. It also mentioned a San Marcos location. Is that closed as well?

While the traffic was not terrible, it was a little unnerving as cars zipped by at 50 mph in the lane right next to me.  Additionally, on both sides of 1325 there are stretches with no shoulder. 

I think I'm going to try the Bratton route next time, even though there is a seriously bad blind curve on that road.

Tomorrow morning i am going to test out a route to ride to work.  I live in Brentwood and plan on catching the Crestview station metro rail to Howard station, then biking through Wells Branch to Louis Henna, crossing I35 and to Dell.

My question is should i ride on the frontage of 1325 or pick Bratton Lane?
