Olmos Basin
Olmos is neatly tucked in the middle of San Antonio - yet another trail that is worth riding if you are already down there, but probably not worth the drive down from Austin. The park is a maze of twisted singletrack. Even with a guide we we lost a few times, making wrong turns. Frankly, it was almost impossible to follow the trails at some point in the ride. This is a great place to night ride, it would be very challenging in the dark. | ||||||||
