Getting in 610 to 288 and coming up McGregor worked great. Going out though McGregor was packed. Gotta cut through the neighborhood next time.
Wife and I are North Side COOGS. Our route was Hardy Toll Road to 610 North Loop the whole way around the East Side to 610 South Loop to Gulf Freeway. Worked very well going and returning. Normally take 610 North Loop to 59 then past GRB. Seemed like the 610 Loop around was further but about the same time as 610 to 59 past GRB.
