Augusta Bottoms Road is always a low point on the Katy journey for us. It's got sizable gravel chunks, like mini boulders in places, that cause my bike wheels to slip. The road is also a bit slanty, and as others mentioned, full of gigantic trucks with no regard for cyclists.
I might take my chances on the shoulder of the main highway from Dutzow Deli in towards Washington next time around. It's a longer duration to be on the road, but it might not be as white knuckle.
