Glorious

After a rare sprinkle for the skies, Saturday was very pretty!

Kiddo Ride

The ride went smooth, took him on wildhorse and some stuff he hasn't been on and thought he would like it more, but he wasn't wild about it. He is nto wild about any of our rides unfortunately, he gets belly cramps and overheats and tires out very quick, not good with summer rolling in but I am grateful for any rides with my boy.

Perfect

Gold Canyon is so peaceful, adore these nice mornings!

Mo betta

Felt sooooo much better in the dark cool of the morning after yesterdays ride.

Affternoon beatdown

The kiddo was off at great wolf lodge with friends so I was a free agent. After dropping him off and accomplishing chores I was off to the trails. Riding mid day was brutal, the sun and heat sucked all my spirit but got the goal accomplished.

Purdy

Rain came in friday, and snow for the high country, can't say it did much for the ride besides making the ground super slow rolling, nice ride, went for 5k again.

Nice Gray day

The storm is rolling in, brought some really nice clouds! Forgot what this desert looks like under a blanke of clouds and not a scorching blinding sun. Snakes are still sleeping so still enjoying Gold Canyon rides.

Bump in the night

All was going well in the dark until I clipped a rock on the crank...... Cracked the crank, oopsy, decided to roll the dice the rest of the ride and it held up! Ordered some new cranks as soon as I got home.

Disneyland in the desert

I hit the trail on the bike form first water trailhead, I didn't anticipate the amount of trails I could ride around that area but I enjoyed riding the mile or two to where I had to ditch the bike quite pleasant! I met the dudes and up we went! Absolute poopshow of people going up and down, glad I had good company so it was less annoying. First flat iron of the year, thanks for the invite Brant!

Scratching the itch

The plan was to meet with Brant at 6:30am so with time and ambition I went to hawes for a ride under that stars before the sun came up, worth it!

Kiddo meets the sisters

Mixed up the trails now I felt he was ready for a go down big sister. It went very smooth, still riding on the wild side and I cringe as he avoids multiple wipeouts, but I give it to him, he always saves it well, nice job Landon.

Brutus Windus

So much wind blowing me alla around, luckily not into any cholla!

Still quite nice

Well it is!

Tiger out for a ride

No trip up north for this week unfortunately, so I just kept on riding until I hit 5,000 ft

Beautiful kiddo ride

Our friday ride was greetd with a little sprinkle and nice cool weather, clean air and nice ride!

Slow n Steady

Peace n Quiet

Getting ready re dedicated to Tuesday morning rides, got to use my new glowworm light, really happy with it!

Highhanginghog

I finally did it, my own version of triple H that it is. Arrived at dawn to the courthouse vista lot. Me and the creaky bike set off south on a nice easy pedal to start the ride on bell pathway to hit Hiline first. The sky was beautiful and temperatures perfect, Hiline is such a treat, love that trail, such a great mix, wish it was longer. Was done and over with that pretty quickly as I next made my way to hangover the quickest ay possible, easy pavement rides and the dirt but nice climb up schnebly hill road. Once I peeled off onto the trail there were quite a few non singlespeed sections but the views were absolutely stellar! Once I got to the top and dropped in on a lovely hangover ride! It was over so quickly and my memory from the other time I have ridden it was very fuzzy. Munds wagon was a slower but way more fun descent to town where I had just Hogs left. Since I was riding the hardest trails in Sedona I chose Hog Heaven and High On The Hog to close out my hog section of the ride. This was actually my favorite trails on the ride, need to get back there for more exploring since I have not actually ridden regular hogs yet. I hit the car and achieved my goal in less than 4 hours. Despite the legs and spine for an entire day riding I got my butt home to take care of the family, what a ride!
