The Alamo - San Antonio, Texas
San Antonio, Texas
Where is San Antonio, Texas? It is in the south-central
region of Texas. Its population is about 1 million within the city limit,
and 1.4 million including the adjacent area within Bexar County. It is
located southeast of the Texas Hill Country, Texas motorcyclists' haven,
and we have year-round-riding weather! The city is known for the Alamo and the
River Walk. Summer is hot, but not humid (like in Japan). So, it's
quite comfortable.

My Favorite Rides Through The Texas Hill Country
I love riding through the Hill Country. Yes, the area may
not be hilly enough for some people, but if you know the right roads, you will
actually find tight curves and steep hills. Really, there are some
spectacular roads and scenery. Plus, even on weekends, many of the cycle
roads have very little or no traffic! Of course, you'll always want to
look out for deer! There are more deer than people out there.
What I find interesting is the loose livestock you encounter in rural
area. I'm talking about mostly cattle. Devices called cattle guards
are strategically placed in the pavement to keep cattle from walking over
to the next area. I had no idea what they were at first. In the picture gallery, I will introduce my favorite roads in the Texas Hill
Country.
