Tempest is a short, flat mountain biking route in Countryside Park, a city-managed park in Texas. The trail is an out-and-back that covers about 0.38 miles, with a total climb and descent of about 25 feet each. It's a moderate ride, and the elevation change is so small that it's essentially flat. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show March highs around 73°F and October highs around 82°F, while July and August average about 92°F. Several other trails sit within a short distance. League City Loop 1, Acosta Express and Talladega Days are each about 0.1 mile away, and Frogger is about 0.2 mile away.
