This was a very interesting ride. Allot of interesting transitions as the scenery changed several times. Clearly, it is a very popular place for cyclists. I also liked the hiking trail land bridge. Some of the scenes gave me the impression of throw backs from an earlier time. I find that very interesting to view. Great place for sure...🙂 What was the temperature that day? Gord
I checked the map and sure enough McAllister Park is right in the middle of greater San Antonio... and not just on the outer edge, but about half way inside. It looks like you are way out in the country, but your not. Things have been preserved here the way they were from over a hundred years ago. Thanks for sharing... Gord
Yep, pretty cool to have parks like this around the city. The really cool part is that these parks are connected by linear parks (bike paths) that make it feel like you’ve never set foot in the city despite being completely surrounded by the city
@@cyclingtexas1670 Yeah... very unusual. Only in Texas! That's what I like about this whole area and the surrounding hill country. It really hasn't changed that much in the past 100 years... except in the cities and surrounding suburbia. Gord Gord
@Eliot Baye Interesting... I would often take N FM 620 in north Austin and then take Steiner Ranch Blvd through the developments and climb up one of the hills overlooking the bluffs along Lake Travis. Gord
I grew up in San Antonio, you wouldn't believe your eyes if you could see the insane parties that were in that park every weekend!! You come late, you couldn't find a place to park, all the way to the gate on Jones Maltsberger. Not to mention, the park was just beautiful back then, not the eye sore it is today.
🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️ always enjoy the ride videos
Thanks for watching!

@Eliot Baye I lived in Austin back in the early 70's. Did allot of riding but hardly any trails back then.
Gord
@Eliot Baye very cool to know
