Looking for wide bike trails

I am looking for good places to ride in the San Antonio/Hill country area but I need kind of a wide trail I am about 36 inches wide.

It is possible to ride/clear this entire segment although I have…

Two days after wake boarding and I feel like Private Pyle after his soap party. 120 miles on the bike this weekend should help.
