King Tide at the Sacramento Delta

[@rossbrumby1957]

The ferries on the Murray river here in South Australia are also free and run 24/7. Couldn't see if your's run on cables there like our's or are steerable "boat" type ferries( our's have very prominent bollards for the cables up by the boom gates) our ferries are often named after local birds.

[@TravelsByTrike]

There were a few types of ferries in the area. Most were closed when we wanted to cross. This one doesn't use a cable. Thanks for following along!

[@oomhoward7462]

Loved the musical interlude during the drone footage ;-)

[@TravelsByTrike]

Thanks! I use Epidemic Sound for KZbin safe music. It takes a long time to pick because I don't have a relationship to anything there but they have a wide variety and I was happy to find some Delta blues.

[@markfeldman6509]

Another great ride with beautiful video. The cool damp conditions are actually perfect for riding. Super scenery. Enjoy your winter touring and stay safe.

[@TravelsByTrike]

Thanks, Mark!

WOW, I used to live there when I was in Grad School, when I saw you cross the Antioch bridge I was like holy cow. I owned a 38ft riverqueen and lived at Eddo's Boat Harbor just outside of Rio Vista, on the Island between Antioch and Rio Vista. I swam in the Delta almost every day. Ended u selling my boat and moving to Treasure Island when I started my Thesis. Your video was a great Blast from the past.

[@TravelsByTrike]

It's a great area and I hope to do more riding there.

[@paulahavens2764]

thanks that was a great ride. From Canada with light rain here.

[@TravelsByTrike]

Thanks, paula!! Go turtle.

[@yongchaozhao1437]

beautiful scenery1

[@TravelsByTrike]

Many thanks!

[@happytriking]

Looks like fun to go on a ferry as part of your ride. Thanks for sharing.

[@TravelsByTrike]

Yes, I love taking ferries.

[@gmaneis]

Really fun to watch as your videos always are, Sylvia. Loved the hawk. A similar bird perched on the clothesline in our yard here in Indiana a few months ago. It stared at wife and me as we watched from the picture window, and of course, flew off as soon as I returned from getting my camera! Thanks for sharing. Glad you didn't try to ride across that bridge you showed at the beginning.

[@TravelsByTrike]

Yes, many thanks! Having a truck has made my riding much more safe and enjoyable, haha!

[@stuartsutherland7664]

Kind of reminded me of cycling in the Netherlands.

[@TravelsByTrike]

I bet. Someday I'll get to experience that too.

[@basicmarsh]

Great Video! Brought back memories and made me homesick for that area. Nice n' flat area + little car traffic! Loved the music for the drone footage.

[@TravelsByTrike]

Thanks, Marshall. This area is so close to Sacramento and San Francisco but feels like a world away.

[@FlyNatural]

Another great ride Sylvia my aunt has a house in sac town so now next time I go home to cali I know of a great place to ride thanks for taking us on the adventure an showing us that trail

[@TravelsByTrike]

Thanks, I'm looking forward to returning and riding more there. Enjoy!

[@360.O.A.Videos]

I like riding in foggy air conditions as you never get overheated . Thanks for this nice video .

[@TravelsByTrike]

Yes, as long as i'm dressed for the weather I don't mind either.

[@TomWalterTX]

Looks like a blast! I've long learned "looks like a nasty day" to go riding. Nine times out of ten, I still had a blast. The 10th outing just made me appreciate the other days! That is my old stomping grounds, thanks to taking us along on the ride.

[@TravelsByTrike]

Cool! Yes, it almost always feels better to ride than not to ride.

[@ChisWest]

I have often wondered what it was like to ride the Rio Vista Delta. The few times i have been to Rio Vista i was driving a car and loved the views along route 12 and the river. Thanks for sharing it was nice looking over your shoulder.

[@TravelsByTrike]

Thanks, Julius! For what I could see, there is lots more to explore as well. Take care!

[@PhotoStrider]

Thanks for the ride around the Sacramento Delta……I noticed you’re not yet using the new intro Matt made up for your new look !!! Great to be along for the ride 👍👏😃🇨🇦

[@TravelsByTrike]

Thanks, David! Yes, I had already finished a few videos before Matt made the intro. It’s coming soon!

[@PhotoStrider]

@@TravelsByTrike 👍❤️😃🇨🇦❄️☃️🏔

[@cherlgolja5402]

I love my catrike trail , however I just love driving to a paved trail and just trike for a couple hours ❤️having been runner for over 40 years and dealing with traffic Im so over it 🇺🇸

[@TravelsByTrike]

You would have really enjoyed this ride. We had the roads to ourselves.

[@louis6657]

Hi from minus 10DEGRE C Canada. Enjoy your ride i am jealous

[@TravelsByTrike]

Yes, the weather is California is much different from the frozen tundra of the north. Be safe!

[@driewiel]

The Skydio is blue And the sky is gray I've been for a ride on a winter day

[@TravelsByTrike]

Aaahhh, our resident poet! So beautiful!

[@TrikesterHal]

Sylvia, still waiting for you to come to Tucson for a few days this winter. I ran into Dave about a week ago (recognized the snazzy wood fenders on his HP (The name of his companion escapes me at the moment; however, the homemade windsock with the multi-colored tinsel really impressed me!)... It will be in the 70s today with a few clouds but with ample sunshine as I ride. It was in the 70s yesterday when the Tucson Ukulele Meetup group got together outside in a library portico to play music (social distancing to be on the safe side). I'm the bass player. Most of us are chronologically challenged and all are vaccinated. 8-)

[@TravelsByTrike]

Yep, I'm actually with Dave and Edna in Yuma getting medical stuff done in Mexico. I'll follow them to Tucson in a few days or so. See you soon!

[@TrikesterHal]

@@TravelsByTrike Great, I look forward to seeing you. The long range forecast is looking good.

[@charleshunt9217]

i enjoy your video vary munh i hope you all the best stay safe i hope you all had fun i no u did if u on a catrike

[@TravelsByTrike]

Thank you, Charles!

[@burtisaac1000]

Awesome 🤩 ride! I wish I was there, I’m jealous! What did you have for breakfast 🧇? Cheers 🥂 orange 🍊 juice 🧃! 🤣

[@TravelsByTrike]

Thanks for following along!

[@elkwisher]

The Corsa I have for sale is like one of your two wheel riders.

[@StellarFella]

An icebreaker works OK in thick fog, but yellow tinted glasses work better.

[@elkwisher]

I have a Bachetta Corsa for sale as my wife needed me to move to a trike. How might I find a buyer? Love your videos. We're looking for places to ride. Keep the videos coming.

[@TravelsByTrike]

Thanks for following along. I’m not sure where you can sell your Corsa. It’s a very nice bike. I’ve heard people post bikes for sale on fb recumbent pages.

[@terrienoll225]

Who is playing that crispy slide guitar? Looks like a great spot to ride. How can one tell it might be by looking at a map, or is it word of mouth?

[@TravelsByTrike]

Thanks, Terrie! I use Epidemic Sound for the music. This is a subscription service with KZbin safe music. The ride is probably listed on the BARC Meet up page. They may have other rides in the area and this one started in Rio Vista.

[@terrienoll225]

Seems like every ride on their site is Emeryville to Point Richmond ...

[@TravelsByTrike]

@@terrienoll225 that's the 3rd Sunday of the month ride.

[@terrienoll225]

@@TravelsByTrike Oh, another look at the site is in order ...

[@IrvieMartin]

Looks like a fun ride! How long did it take?

[@TravelsByTrike]

Thanks! I think we rode for about 5 hours.

[@BeezodogsPlace]

Looks as if you had all your cameras out for picture taking. The Insta360 ONE X2 appeared to be in service a large part of the time. And of course the drone. Was there a third camera for a short bit?

[@TravelsByTrike]

Thanks! Actually, I did use the 360 but had it, mistakenly, on shutter priority and none of the footage was usable. I used my iphone 11 and GoPro.

[@saadds6121]

How long (time-wise) were you actually riding? It looked like pretty country!

[@TravelsByTrike]

I think we were riding for about 5 hours. I hope to return when it is just a bit warmer. Thanks for commenting!

[@tomandalbert]

As a kid in the 60's the waterways of the Delta is where I called home. You missed so much. Rent a house boat and try living there. First learn to read a chart.

[@TravelsByTrike]

Haha, yes, I'm sure I missed a lot but I was on a group ride and only went where the leader took us. I'll be back another time. I doubt I'll take the time to learn to read boating charts though.

[@tomandalbert]

Damp and foggy? Try summer, It's hot and in the water is the place to be. As a bunch of young men with a ski boat, you can imagine we had a really great time.
