Cycling the Ft Worth Trinity Trail

- Today I go to the city of Ft. Worth to check out the Trinity Trails. A network of multi-use trails following the greenbelt on the Clearfork, and Westfork of the Trinity River. I'm riding my 1988 Centurian built with TANGE cro-mo and I love the way this bike rides. I start at Art Cowsen Trailhead at Benbrook Lake and ride north past the main downtown area to the historic Ft. Worth Stockyards.

"Oh yeah" If you like old school rock, turn it up!
Cool ride Dad! I’ve run a race or two or ten there at Panther Island :). And hmmmmm I seem to remember seeing many Walker Texas Ranger episodes as a kid but maybe that wasn’t your doing hahahaha
Lol, I watched it a few times but it wasn't my favorite. 🙄
Love riding the Trinity River trails! Miles and miles of spinning!
beautiful ride, the cameras, the route, the man fishing, the town, and after ride that menu, my like
Gracias Sergio ✌
Ahh, nice ride and a great tune from that lil ole band from Texas!! Thanks a bunch for that tour as well Tony 😎✌
I've had that song on my mind so I had to fit it in somewhere. Lol. I have another song planned for the fatty hopefully soon. Don't forget the 22nd. Woohoo ✌
Awesome! The Trinity Trails are one of the best kept secrets in Cowtown.
It certainly is. Thanks for watching ✌
Was born in Fort Worth, left after graduating high school in 1970. The trails weren't a thing yet when I was living there in the 50s and 60s, but I've come back over the last 20 years and done the trails ride a few times. You managed to find the White Elephant saloon that my brother told me I should seek out on my last trail visit about four years ago. I never could find it - wasn't using GPS, and somehow never found the right trail head spot to exit from. I need to get up there again a.s.a.p. and do some more riding. Last time I found a hotel right on the trail in the Forest Park area, just south of downtown, and used that as my headquarters for both north and south explorations. Anyway, pleasantly surprised to find this video of a place I've been several times. Cheers!
Hi Curt. I'm glad this stirred up some old memories for you. I remember when there was just a few gravel roads in spots along the Trinity. It's really nice now and they are working on the connector trail to Dallas. ✌
Ain’t no telling what’s in the trinity, you might find a prehistoric monster with all the waste that flows through there. Hahahaaa! I love that area and used to roam around there every chance I got.
I don't think I would eat any fish out of there. Lol ✌
That’s a great video Tony! Riding a bike out there is so much more fun than golfing it’s not even funny. And it’s free. Just like you.
If you ever see me golf you'd know how true your statement is. Hahaha. Thank you Steve
i live right next to that... been researching different wats to get around... nice to see where it goes
Really enjoyed your video! I live in Fort Worth and ride the Trinity all the time. Love the background music! Keep up the awesome content.
That is a great place to go for a bike ride. I like the trinity river and hopefully did the guy catch some fish. Thank you for sharing and have a great week.🙂👍
I don't know if Hector caught any fish that day. Further down the river were many fishermen on both sides of the bank fishing in a small area. Every year the river is stocked with trout and maybe that was the area they stocked. Thank you for watching.
Man I've been wondering what in the world happened to you! Glad to see you out and about again!
I'm still here Jim. I did take a heck of a break. I do that every so often. I get a little burned out and have to show my wife some attention. Lol ✌
@@BluecollarBackcountry that's funny you say that I'm getting burnt out right now I put out 55 video's in 2021.
When I was a young man I got my guide licence for fishing. An uncle who had been a guide for years told me if I did that it would just become a job! He was right and now I hardly ever fish. The same can be said for making videos for some of us. Some times you just have to step back a while. I hope 2022 is everything you hope for.
Loved the ride and especially the visit to downtown Ft. Worth 👍
Thanks JP. That was during the week. On the weekends it gets really crowded and hard to move around.
I visited the Fort Worth Stockyards a few years ago. Went to the rodeo there. Pretty cool experience.
It's become a lot more modern but still a cool place to hang out. If you ever go back you should try Riskys Steakhouse
You have a great personality and it’s fun to watch your videos! I am happy to see you back on TH-cam! Nice trails around Ft. Worth.
Thank you for the wonderful compliment. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. If it weren't for the comments I would probably stop making videos. Enjoy the rest of the weekend ✌
Nice adventure. Loved the ZZ Top soundtrack. El Loco was my favorite vinyl from them, if anyone cares about 80"s trivia..
Looked like a solid ride. Keep on pedaling.
I was lucky enough to see them when I was about 18 or 19. That's a great memory. Thanks Steve
I’ve spent some on that trial. Nice work! I think I have talked 2 of my brothers into doing the NETT and we are going to try to coordinate it with the Gran Fondo in 2023. Thanks for the awesome videos!
Thanks William I appreciate you watching and maybe I'll see you at the next Gran Fondo on the NETT. Atb, Tony
nice ride and neat historic district thanks for showing us around
Thanks potatothorn ✌
Man looked like a great trail system and an awesome day of riding! The wife and I were just saying last night that we miss our little trips down to Texas, but we are sure glad to have our daughter, son in law, and the grand babies so much closer to home. We sure did enjoy all that Texas had to offer though.
It was a nice trail and no disrespect to folks in the city but I'll take my country roads every time. It's so relaxing out here. I know y'all are happy to have your family close to home. I have a few kinda stretched out that would be nice to see more often. Thanks Chris
Great brother, I like your video thank you
Thank you
great background music and nice jersey ....... time for a group ride perhaps up there
I usually don't wear a jersey but I had layered up that morning. I started out in the 30s. I do need to get a group ride organized. Maybe the Sam Houston Restaurant Tour when hunting season is over.
Thats one sweet trail, ahow how how how
It's a nice green space for people to use but I still love my country roads.......and ZZ Top
Another good one Tony like that ZZ TOP to
Thank you Brad ✌
ZZ Topp! Love it!
Nice video. Enjoyed the tour.
Thank you Vic ✌
Sitting here watching this with a cold beer. Nice one mate. 👍
I watched Walker Texas Ranger...go Chuck 🤣
The day started out at 1°C so I stuck with coffee. Hahaha Now a cool dark beer would have been fine later that day.
@@BluecollarBackcountry I seen that you looked rugged up. 35° here today. Started out around 27.
Nice little ride,, we may have had a “few” drinks and good times at the Stock Yards . My sister and some friends live in Saginaw and Azle . Have a good one Tony
Honestly RG I may have had more than a few on numerous occasions when I was young. Hahahaha🤓
@@BluecollarBackcountry haha , yea I only get up there once or twice a year but a good time is still had when we do. I hate I’m missing all the rodeo fun this year.
Love a bit of ZZ Top and that looked a real nice bike ride Tony, especially in that weather, looked like a summers day. I always like to have a bit of a chat with people on the trail, which is why I never get the miles in I intended too lol. I think I would have made a stop off at Riscky's Steak House, that sure looked like my type of place to eat and sure beats the coffee shop lol. Take care, cheers Alan!
There's definitely nothing wrong with a little ZZ Top. It gets the blood circulating. Lol Yeah, distance has never been my thing as long as I'm enjoying being out there. Everyone is different and has different reasons for being outside. I've always said; wouldn't life be boring if everyone was exactly the same. ✌ Thanks Alan
Nice ride, it looks like you’re going hyper speed tthrough the trails haha! But that’s probably because I’m used to the slow walking pace of hiking :)
Greenbelts are always a nice treasure to have in an urban area, living in a concrete jungle with no nature doesn’t suit me well at all.
Also nice shout out for the coffee shop at the end!
My hiking pace is ultra slow these days so I make up for it on the bike. Hahaha. I'm glad people in the city have this but I'll always enjoy the country try. Thanks Del. ✌
Great tunes, Tony. Thank you for taking us along. Stay safe and stay cool
Thanks Sean. I always appreciate your comments. Take care ✌
Love your videos, living the biking life through you because I just can't do it.
We'll watch out for each other. I don't know anything about mushrooms. Hahahaha
Thanks Tony for the beautiful ride. The trail was amazing and you played one of my all time favorite songs about that home-out-on-the-range. Take care, Steve
I had that tune in my head while I was riding so I had to add it to the video. It was an easy flat ride compared to what I'm used to but it was enjoyable. Thanks Steve
Hey Tony. What a sweet looking trail man. Looks like fun to ride! I need to break my bike out and give it some love and take for a spin too. I love to Golf too. Looks like a nice course to play. Wow, 60,000 and 150 green fees, yeah I can't afford that haha.Cool learning about the history of Old Fort Worth. Never been so it was cool. Looked like a nice day to get out and nice weather.
Hey Ronnie. The old stockyards have a ton of history I never touched on. I could go down a rabbit hole real quick getting into that subject. Lol Thanks for stopping by. ✌
@@BluecollarBackcountry Haha I love rabbit holes 🤣🤣
Muffins are good food fer biking. Go best with milk.
Nice ride through our trail system! You'd also like the Benbrook lake "loop" where you can ride around the lake inside the park (low car count) so it'd be closer to what you are used to out in the sticks. :)
I haven't been around the lake much since I was in my twenties and fishing out there. I may have to check this loop out. Is there a map anywhere?
Very nice Tony! Was that an out & back or is there a loop? How many miles?
It's an out and back. There are no !oops on this trail. I checked a few other areas I didn't video but from Benbrook to the Stockyards and back was between 35 and 40 miles. My Ride With GPS app was not real accurate for some reason. It was all easy riding though.
Awesome ride, wonder if they will ever cut through a trail between Dallas and FTW?
Hi Steve and thanks. A connecting trail has been in the works since about 2014 and now the project is supposed to be fully funded with a completion date in 2023. That will make for an awesome trail. Thanks for watching ✌
