Gene, The Mission Trail Hike and Bike trail in San Antonio runs approximately 7 miles connecting 4
historic missions. Here's a link to info on the missions
http://www.sanantoniocvb.com/visitors/things_missions.asp. Part of the trail is currently under
construction, but is navigable. We ride the trail several times per month on our Greenspeed GTT. It
can be a bit crowded on weekends with families out for a ride, skate, or walk, but not too bad.
If you will be staying near downtown, or within the portion of the city bounded by the 410 loop, you
can reach the trail by bike. If you drive, best option is to go to the southernmost mission
(Espada), and ride north on the trail. There are plenty of road routes through the country south of
the missions, if you want more miles. Also check out rides with the San Antonio Wheelmen
http://www.sawheelmen.com/ if you want to do group rides.
Enjoy, Steve Wood
