We got out of the heat two hours North of Phoenix. Hit the trailhead about 9:30 a.m., 64°F, slightly humid from the previous night's downpour and perfect riding conditions.
Too much on the bike action to stop and take photos, those I did take weren't all too spectacular so I didn't bother to dl them.
The trail was soft but not soft enough to leave much of a track. Puddles were spotty so little trail damage was done. Most was rideable, some of the climbs were too steep and washed out from the recent rains. Upper Moto was too difficult for me to ride so I walked most of it. The rain had all but taken any noticeable line away and there was nothing but boulder after boulder to bounce off of.....no thank you. Those with talent can ride this but I'm not one of them!
about 23 miles, 3400 feet of climbing and 3.5 hours on the bike ending with a burger and beer in town.

Man I'm jealous...has been too long since I've had any rides like that....'round here in KY it's a 7 mile loop or so that is not scenic (except the deer scattering under the freeway) and not particularly interesting. More of a workout than a great day. Man I miss NorCal and the West! Maybe someday again. Drew
