Big Bend - A Bike Ride Through The Desert.........

Big Bend.......it cannot all be seen within a week's time. I've been making annual treks to Big Bend and this particular bike ride is something that I always put into the scheme of things. At this point, it is my very favorite bike ride........I took this picture which is along the route...........

I encourage any kind of bike from expensive road bikes to cruisers to come do this ride. It is all about the desert experience.............

This is a 20 mile bike ride with a 1900' gradual drop in elevation. There are just a few uphill climbs but they are not killer climbs and they are short. There is very little traffic..........you might see 5 vehicles, a coyote, a tarantula........a fox.........

For those feeling the need for a more challenging ride........you can start at the other end and ride this same route uphill back to Panther Junction.......

So plan to bring a bike and I will go into more details about the bike ride at my pre-trip meeting on October 9, 2012 at  Sylvia's Enchilada Kitchen. San Antonio is also doing a trip to Big Bend so make sure that you don't get the dates mixed up.
