Spring break is (finally) right around the corner.

Outdoor Activities in Houston to Do on Spring Break<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ride Your Bike during Critical Mass.<\/strong> Not to be mistaken for a holy day of obligation, Critical Mass is a casual social bike ride where upwards of hundreds of Houston area bicyclists gather and ride around Houston just as it gets dark.

\"Running<\/a><\/p>\n

Those Shoes Are Made for Running: <\/strong>A number of 5Ks, 10Ks and half-marathons take place throughout the March and April. Choose from the Bayou City Classic<\/strong>, <\/strong>Run Houston! Minute Maid Park<\/strong> or (on your way to the beach) the Lake Jackson Doggy Dash<\/strong>. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
