Bike enthusiasts?

Started riding a bike about two years ago for some much needed exercise. It was easy at first to come up with an excuse not to ride on any given day. However I pushed through and now I ride 10 to 15 miles every other day depending on whether and time of day. I ride close to home for convenience because of long work days and timing. I don’t have to force myself to get on my bike anymore. It reduces my stress, my energy levels are up, I’m in great shape, and I’m more productive on a daily basis
I would like to start having some weekend adventures on my bike. If any one knows of any scenic routes that you would like to share I would appreciate it. I ride a street bike, thinking about a mountain bike in the near future if I can find some great places to ride. Thanks!!

I have to give it up to the City of SA. Mitch, there are MILES of bike trails around town that are in the green belt SA adopted.
I've only ridden a couple of them but they are very nice. I use to just get on the bike and go somewhere. With all the construction around town, that is a life or death trip to make now. Use to bike out west to Castroville and beyond but won't do that anymore.

So, load up the bike and make a short trip and you can be at the jump off point to most any bike trail, courtesy of the city.

I'd be interested. Haven't been pedaling for awhile.

Mmmm my sexy beast hubby

Love on a bicycle? Lol

Some dudes are HARD Core riders!!

The link you supplied Dallas wants you to sign up.
Try this link instead to find the ones listed in yours on a map.

I've done the Leon Creek one from the Ingram Via Park n Ride to 1604/10 (before they had it completed that far.)
Also the Mission one from downtown to below 410 south and back with a Provider friend. If you do it during sunny weather, bring sun screen since not much shade.

Been wanting to do the one by Starcrest/410 (Tobin trail?) for the longest time.

Thanks for the info people. I will definitely use this info for some near future rides. Got to get the holidays over with first. If anyone is interested in joining me let me know.

Dallas you sexy woman, see you in January.

Drop me a PM to let me know where your interested in riding.
Can only do paved course.

Both OP Schnabel and McAllister have miles of paved and off road. You can launch at blue star brewery and do the mission trail. I think that one is a40 miles round trip. Valero trailhead at 1604 and 10. Very nice ride by Utsa campus. Good scenery! ;)

I've enjoyed these rides from time to time...
From either of the gas stations at/near 471 & 211 it's 34 mi RT along 471 to Castroville; farm scenery. The turnaround is at Haby's Bakery (ahem).
On the other hand, Hill Country SNA has some rugged mountain biking options.
The greenway from Jack White to Southside Lions is nice, as well as McAllister Park south until it peters out around Rittiman.
Monday evenings there's a fun group ride beginning at La Tuna at Cevallos y Probandt which goes along the RW, Hays St. Bridge, Brackenridge Park, downtown, about 13 mi.

That is a nice one. I would use it to do my walking exercise when I was getting better with my prosthetic.

I love my bike! That is my obsession! I have suitcases of uniforms, that I get from all over the world, when I travel!
I only ride in small neighborhoods with slow traffic or closed circuits. I have to regulate my riding, because the muscles on my legs are getting out of control with daily exercising and my pants don't fit...

Bike is the best exercise ever! Well, after swimming. And ping-pong. And ice skating. OMG my legs are jerking!...

In Austin, on MoPack/Slaughter, next to Wildflower Preserve is a Bicycle park, where pedestrians or skateboards are not allowed.
3.5 miles of double wide paved road with rest stops and one-way driving direction. LOVE IT.

"Driveway Park" in Austin is awesome too, but it is mostly been used for competitions.

I take my bike to Corpus everytime I go there. Riding at the marina is awesome! I love camping on Mustang island and that road that is going to Bird Sanctuary is 14 miles long, flat and super nice to ride on.

Mountain bike is to much for me. And to havy. I like my knees and wanna keep em longer in tackt.

Is Purgatory a good bike ride? I would like to do it, but have no intel.

I have never even walked in Purgatory park. Scary name...:lightning:

I thought this thread was about riding Harley’s...lol

Y‘all bicyclists have fun.

I don't have Harley....
But, I would make nice Bitch Rider. :twothumbs:

You may want to consider getting yourself verified here first. You been around since April and still no lady has stepped up and vouched for you. That’s going to be a big Red Flag to most Verified ladies. However, keep doing what you want.

"Fu#king Bitch" just like "Riding Bitch" suddenly has gotten a completely new meaning....
:lightning:

I'll ride with Doc. He has my back.

Can Harley drive like 10 miles in hour? I can't race ya... I am mostly for "looking good" on the bike, and not for working hard...
We can even go for a ride together in Port A. That would be great picture opportunity: Harley and Specialized ride. Bahahaha!

Maybe we could organize "Bi-Cycle OurHome Run 2" with lots of verified members riding?!

*pb would like to see doc take the oil dripper down one of SA bike trails*

AS, I hear you about looking good while riding. Slow or otherwise.
Brings back found memories of when I booked an afternoon with a favourite of mine. The ride got both our motors going.

What model Specialized bike you have? I got what I called the Lance Armstrong revenge bike. Fell in love with if before ever laying eyes on a real one.

Road Bike or Mountain Bike. I'm in.

I have Specialized Ruby. Decked out with Selle Italia seat, Look clips and Me, as a cherry on top. Lets ride!

Last bike i bought. Haven't had a chance to ride yet.

Think mine will fit you. I think they are smaller than the size listed.
As I said, I fell from them by just seeing a picture. I had to guess at the size. When my first one arrived, I found it fit if I had a long seat post. The one I posted was a picture online.

Considering that design is near 20 years old, it's still a looker.

Been looking at the giant mtb for about $450. Sharp looking bike with good components for that price. Been a Fuji guy for awhile though.

That Tobin trail spits you out near SAMC. Rode it after we had one of those crazy hail storms in the spring. Path was covered with leaves and some of the prickly pear cactus had some holes in them from the hail. Crazy sight!

I would suggest to look at the bikes in "Bicycle Sports Shop" on Lamar/Barton Springs in Austin. I shop there and repair my bike for the last 10 years there. You also could get a used bike there, for a great price, certified and maintained.
Or,
Look at Facebook page for bike/parts "For Sale" in your area. Even better prices from private sellers.

Note: please consider to do Geometrical Positioning for you/your bike. This is when trained professional helps you to tweak your bike/posture to your body exactly. Huge difference in riding and wear/tear of your body parts while riding. It cost between $150 - $350, depending on your "Beginner" or "Advanced" rider profile.

The blue loop at Mac would be fun to witness.

In SA, if shopping and for advice, the Trek dealer in Alamo Heights on Broadway.
Very helpful. Not snooty.

Got my bike at the Trek dealer in Alamo Heights. I have a hybrid that I love. I have access to a real nice road bike but I prefer the hybrid. I will start my weekend bike adventures towards the end of the month if weather permits.

I havent ridden a bike in over 30 years...lol

when I was 6,my sis and I had a double bike...lol

Dallas, Baby, Rain,

Have found what you’re looking for?

A lot of info on Facebook. Chain Reaction, Wheelmen, Cyclones.

The weather has been great. I’ve been riding 18 miles every other day on my new bike in the Schertz and Cibolo area. Get your ride on people.

MMMM cant wait to see those sexy built calves.....that is such a turn on for me!
