Beautiful morning in Corpus Christi & Port Aransas, Texas on Mustang Island. I started the day from access road 2 and driving up to the pier in Port A. The sunrise and conditions were perfect.
Later I went back down the island to Access Road 3 and and took a swim.

Andrew, Do you live close by? Or do you have to get up early early in the dark in order to get there by sunrise? Gord
No to see the sunrise I’d have to leave the house around 4:30 to get to the coast by 6:30 and have a few minutes to spare to take some photos before the sun starts coming up.
I’m a roadie from north west Rhode Island. Just moved to SA for work, right near the Rim too! RI, MA, CT has a TON of Mtb trail and quiet back roads. I’m seeing a few mtb places down in the Leon Creek greenway but not too much opportunity for road riding, and every bike I’ve seen so far has a light on it, is that a law or just the norm down there? Can you please tell me what the cycling scene is like? Helmets, lights, cars vs cycling in a kit, police, etc. Is it worth it to bring a road bike down or should I just bring my everyday franken-gravel bike and call it a day?
There’s far more Road opportunities than MTB in SA. You live by the rim which is great since your right at the edge of the Hill Country! As long as you’re comfortable with road riding then the opportunities are literally endless. The vast majority of cars are respectful and give you space. Police always are friendly as long as you ride responsibly. I believe the law is reflectors or lights. Lights just provide better visibility which is better when road riding. Bring your road bike. By the Rim good roads are Babcock outside of 1604, Scenic Loop, Boerne Stage, Cielo Vista.
@@cyclingtexas1670 This is excellent! Thank you!
After 4 years of college "on the river in San Marcos", I "had to leave the river" and get a teaching job in Eagle Pass. Driving back to San Marcos after signing my contract, I stumbled onto the Nueces, right about where you were filming, and I knew that I was going to be okay, and I was. Beautiful river and excellent presentation on your part. Thank you!
Thanks for watching! The Hill Country near you is far superior to the Hill Country near Austin and San Marcos. So much more rugged and pristine. Have you been to the Devils River?
i have noticed every year the water is going from 💩 brown water to clear water
Beautiful video! Just what I needed!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Andrew... Great moving images of dawn and sunrise. All the pastel colors come out because of the water reflecting the sky and sun back onto the haze of the atmosphere. You only get that by the ocean facing the sunrise. Gord
Thanks for watching! The clouds and sunrise this morning were amazing!
@@cyclingtexas1670Yeah... you gotta have the partial clouds on the sunrise horizon to get that effect. Gord
Beautiful and peaceful…before the sun comes up; and all the people arrive. Spent many days on that island; camping on the beach and fishing from the piers, before the hurricanes took them out. Caldwell pier was repaired, but Bob Hall pier was damaged beyond repair.
Morning is the best time! Beat the crowds, perfect weather, escape the island before the traffic.
Nicey video I love going to Port Aransad to get griled mahi mahi at either MacDaddy off Beach st, Virgina cove ror whatever it's called is good. But Fins and Cassey are the best spot for foods IMHO. Too bad no good prices on fresh fish in fact wholesefood is still cheaper and better. I tried buying fish once at Pops seafood and what i wanted was all frozen and more expensive,.
Thanks Andrew... very nice scenes of the Gulf. Your camera is doing a great job of getting the color saturation just right. Very pleasant to watch... 😊 Gord
@@gorrdd thank you for watching!
Looks so pretty ❤
Nice view of the intercoastal with the retired USS Lexington. 🇺🇲
Andrew, Another beautiful day at the ocean on the Gulf by CC. Did you run into the flooding in the hill country and around San Antonio? Gord
Nice shots, Andrew. Beautiful day and beautiful water... What camera were you using? Those zooms did not seem digital but optical... no apparent loss in detail clarity. Gord
Beautiful day indeed. The camera was just my iPhone. The iPhone 14
@@cyclingtexas1670 Thanks... you did a great job with the zoom. Did you assign buttons for the zoom? Doing it in the screen with your fingers tends to be jerky. You didn't have that at all. Gord
Clearly, there are sharks off of Matagorda Beach! Thanks for showing this. Gord
Andrew, was there any power in the surrounding area? Just curious... Nice puppy! Is that a golden retriever? Gord
She’s some kind of mutt, I’m not really too sure to be honest though. She’s 5 years old. The local businesses in the area that I stopped at had power, I’m not sure about the neighborhoods. There were lots of lineman and utility vehicles in the area working on the power lines.
@@cyclingtexas1670 Thanks Andrew... It seems very odd that a Cat 1 storm has caused more power outages than previous Cat 3 storms that hit Houston. Gord
You escaped the heat, Andrew! And the storm... Gord
@@gorrdd haha not so much, Turns out NC and SC have the exact same weather as Texas. Hot and humid
@@cyclingtexas1670 It looked so cool and clear on your short video. Had me fooled...🤔
@@gorrddit hit 100° yesterday here
@@cyclingtexas1670 That seems very unusual for the Carolinas... Incredible!
my mom works here spot me!
I ❤ corpus
@@berenator me too!
Gorgeous!
It looks like they prepared for this well ahead of time with all of that flow management construction... Gord
Somewhere you make a jump cut in the video 3:11 on just at a point where now the San Pedro Creek, Alazan, and Apache trails somewhat converge. Its weird as the Apache and Alazan hydrologically are superior to the San Pedro that they insist on calling that section from the river walk to Alazan/Apache trails, the San Pedro Creek. What I want is the Zarzamora trail to connect up into Leon Valley or at least a street bike lane to get to the Ingram trail... its such a let down to ride that trail for it to die at NW 36th between Culebra and Commerce.
So... how did you weather the storm, Andrew? Gord
It wasn’t bad, some decent rain but nothing crazy or flooding
@@cyclingtexas1670 I'm glad to hear that... Gord
Really lovely, Andrew! Beautiful waters along NPI. I gather it's gotten cloudy and s bit cooler with that low pressure coming from the south Gulf of Mexico. Gord
The day I went didn’t seem to have any effects yet from the storm
Apache with the Zarzamora creek trail makes for a nice ride however the trail is lacking a true start point. As the San Pedro (still under construction) Apache, and Azltan creek trails nearly connect together.
They are all interconnected. A good start point would be Concepcion Park or Confluence Park. The portion of San Pedro Creek under construction is a new spur to Downtown from the existing San Pedro Creek Greenway.

Hey, I am moving to SA and want to get into cycling. Will a road bike do the trick for all the trails or would I be better off with a gravel bike?
I would recommend a road bike. If you’re into gravel riding there’s plenty of gravel roads in the countryside. But I would recommend a road bike
New subscriber here , the video began when last one ended and wasn't long before I hit the subscribe and turning on the notifications, yhe stuff Iike , hope you have an awesome time
I love this river! Born and raised in San Marcus
Great place to be!
Andrew, That looks like more flow than usual, along the San Marcos. Would that be correct... or is my impression wrong? Gord
This river is a lot more stable than others in my experience. The Frio, Medina and upper Guadalupe can be bone dry. San Marcos and New Braunfels will still have water flowing.
@@cyclingtexas1670 Thanks Andrew... The reason I asked is because many of these crystal clear rivers are spring fed, as you know. But with the number of storms and rain this spring, I wasn't sure if that was effecting river flows. Gord
@gorrdd we’ve been seeing some rain but no where near the same level as you guys or Houston area. We’ve been fortunate enough to avoid severe weather but canyon lake, lake Medina, lake Travis are still much lower than they should be.
@@cyclingtexas1670 Thanks... that answers most of my interest. Thanks for the details. Are the other rivers dry this spring, or just lower than usual? How's the spring vegetation doing this year in the hill country? Gord
@@gorrddI haven’t been deep into the hill country this year yet. I’ve been hanging out between Austin and San Antonio for the most part. I can say for sure that it is much greener and healthier looking than the past couple of years. I just think the water levels are so low from the past few years lack of rainfall that we probably are gonna need some kind of flood to bounce back to normal levels.
Going to visit my daughter and her family in San Antonio next month. Any other places to ride there?
For Trails, the Riverwalk, Leon/Salado Creek Greenways are probably your best bet for first time. If you want to road ride probably somewhere on the north side like Babcock and Scenic Loop. If you can make it out to New Braunfels, River Road is a great place to Road Ride
@@cyclingtexas1670 Thanks, my daughter lives near New Braunfels and her husband is an officer for that city. I will check it out.
where is this trail entrance 8:38?
30°18'00.9"N 97°44'46.9"W (W 31st Street & N Lamar)
It's that a 360 your using? Gord
A 360 camera? Those look cool, but this is just my phone. iPhone 14 wide angle shot.
Thanks Andrew... These places are pretty neat. Doesn't look like much has changed over the past 50 years. It's already full on summer with all the haze and more humidity than usual. Gord
Seguin doesn't change. It just gets more crowded.
0:22 River Drive 2:23 Guadalupe at US 90 4:22 Guadalupe at TX 46 6:57 Power Plant Seguin 7:23 Guadalupe at Austin St
Alrighty then...all I can say is that was very cool. 👍👍
Thanks Andrew... This made for a neat video. Seeing the River Walk from the water perspective gives it a kind of Venetian vibe with the high rise buildings. Gord
Thanks for watching!
Your having the same kind of weather as we are... up here in DFW. Allot of rain this year compared with other years a decade ago. Gord
That's a great workout. My wife and I kayaked this same area three years ago. At 1:33 you're passing Iron Cactus. If you've not taken your lady to that place yet, I recommend it. The brisket quesadilla and Mexican donuts are awesome!
Good to know! Definitely was a good workout. Had my arms burning almost immediately. Definitely was rethinking my choice to kayak immediately after getting in the water lol
Wow... It's really flowing this year! Gord
Beautiful water... crystal clear. Thanks. Gord
Andrew, You definitely caught the mood of the atmosphere with the rain and clouds. The lighting was perfect... Gord
This is it, I wish we have this kind of road here without interruption, wish to ride this road soonest,,,
Pretty cool, does it ride pretty well?
Indeed it does. Very smooth and silent on gear changes. The frame is incredible stiff... no flex in the bottom bracket. Same with the stem and forks. When you do a static drop, everything on the bike has that slight higher pitched buzz rather than a lower pitched hum, typical of a cheaper made bike. And this is their entry level folder. It comes with Schwalbe Big Apple 2" tires that have less roll resistance, at the same tire pressure, than a 1.5" tire. Apparently, bigger tires with enough pressure maintain less road surface contact, than narrower tires that must compress more on contract. This bike certainly rolls along as effortlessly as the best I've ever ridden in the past. This folder is only 25 lbs. The seat is also very well designed. But my butt isn't... yet! It's getting better after a 100+ miles on the first week. I need a second bike and am thinking of a somewhat similar Tern Link S8I. It has an internal 8 speed hub that is geared for all inclines, both up and down. The drive train is a notched carbon belt. It needs no lubrication whatsoever and together with the sealed 8 speed hub, that also requires no lubrication, is eerily quiet and smooth. The system is totally maintenance free except for replacing the belt, after so many thousands of miles. And the weight of the drive and hub is only about a quarter of the weight of a chain and derailleur system. A really great development... but it's pricey at around $2200. I paid $850 for my Tern Link C8. Gord
@@gorrdd very cool, I always wondered about the folding bikes. Definitely much more convenient
@@cyclingtexas1670 It folds up small enough to fit easily into a trunk or half of the backseat. Very convenient indeed. No need for a bike rack and exposure to tampering and theft.
@gorrdd that’s my least favorite thing about cycling. Transporting my bike. It’s a pain in the butt to take in and out of my car. A folding bike would be pretty cool.
@@cyclingtexas1670 Yeah... if you have that issue then it would be a great benefit to you. It only takes about 10-15 seconds to fold and unfold.. I bought a front bag for the handlebars to put necessary stuff like spare tubes, tools, and pump and a few accessories for cleaning etc. Getting that bag on and off takes longer than folding or unfolding. The folder has a compact magnetic clip system that holds the two wheels together when folded so that it doesn't open up unintended. Because it uses a 20" wheel, rather than a 27" wheel, it folds up small. Consequently, the seat post is long with an adjustable quick release that collapses the seat and post all the way down. The bottom of the seatpost serves as the third leg of a stool. The other two supporting legs are the wheels folded together, but a few inches apart. The bike stands alone folded, without further support. The handlebar stem is also long and folds down as well. In it's folded position there is a small rubber belt strap on the frame that holds the stem security in place. Lastly, the pedals have a quick release that allows them to fold up or down. That's four folds and one extension to deal with. They designed it in such a way that the flex in the shifter and brake cables doesn't effect their performance. Once unfolded everything works perfectly without any further adjustment. Both the brakes and the derailleur work perfectly.... excellent performance from both. Gord
Lovely image, Andrew! I liked seeing your bike in the background. I just got a new Tern folding bike for myself last week. What a fantastic little precision machine. I go willingly but I'm forced to drag my butt along for the ride... until he gets broken in again. 😂 Haven't ridden in over 20 years. You know the deal...😊 Gord
Heck yeah! I saw them too on my way to Victoria
The wildflowers are great this year! Gord
Very nice indeed!
Ive been fishing with my Rod strapped to my bike. Fun x2
Any fishing off that trail?
I’ve seen fish, never seen anyone fish. I know for sure people fish all the time at Starke Park about 1/2 mile away at the Guadalupe River. I don’t know much about fishing myself though
Austin Texas was the first big city I ever rode a bike in. I rented some bromptons and rode from my hotel off i35 to Guero’s on south congress. It was cool to see the same area I rode in. 10 years later I’m getting ready to fly to NYC with my trek to ride the 5 boro tour in two weeks. This is going to be the 2nd big city I ride a bike in lol, and a huge city at that. Im super excited to ride my own bike this time and make memories with it.
That’s cool, take some pictures or some videos and share them!
@@cyclingtexas1670 I got the whole ride on my go pro, but somehow the camera reset without me knowing and it shot at 480p!! 🤦🏽♂️ so the footage looks like some 1980’s footage lol. I was so disappointed with that. But the experience was amazing
@BUCKSHOTSTV lol, I know how that feels. That’s why I make less videos now. The damn camera annoys the hell out of me sometimes. Have to troubleshoot in the middle of the ride, instead of enjoying the ride. Glad you enjoyed the experience!
great tales!
Nice...👍 Gord
