I just moved to Beaumont, and can’t find any good bike or running routes with any descent length. Does anyone know of any good biking or running routes around the city? Also any good suggestions of health clubs with a lap pool?
The best place for swimming is the St. Elizabeth Wellness Center that is attached to the hospital. It has a weight room, basktball court, racquetball courts and a lap pool. It opens at 5:00am and if you want to beat the old timers, you better be there at 4:50 waiting for the doors to open.
With regard to cycling, your are in pretty bad place for riding. There used to be a bike shop that had rides on Saturdays and the route was out to HWY 105 to Sour Lake and back. About 30 miles. However, you are riding on the shoulder of a major HWY that has seen a number of accidents. We would also just ride around town, through neighborhoods and maybe out HWY 69 if we felt lucky. I lived in BMT for 25 years.
Good Luck.
