I was ovedue for an out of town trip so a quick run out to Phoenix for the weekend was in order. Jerry and I would be doing the carpool thing out to Phoenix. I was up at his casa in Orange County bright and early in the morning we were soon headed east. Jerry works vampire hours so he snoozed while I drove. We made pretty good time and by early afternoon we were at Greg's house which was to be homebase for the weekend. Already at Casa del Greg was Kevin who I had not seen in a little over a year. Greg and Kevin and spent the eight days galavanting around a few of the western states hitting up the MTB hotspots. We gave them a buzz when we were an hour out they had just gotten in from a quick morning spin on South Mountain. Things would work out that we would have enough time for a semi-quick loop on the mountain that would include a portion of the National and Telegraph Pass Trails.

Ride Notes: |

Shortly after the petroglyphs the trail steepens and gets rocky and ledgy. It had been sometime since I had climbed ledges so it took a handful of dabs to dust of those skills. It was a really fun and challenging climb. |
