So Ive done a couple fun rides over the past couple of months, but since it has typically been solo or only one (maybe two) other riders I have not taken a lot of pictures. But here is what I do have:
First La Milagrosa in Tucson, AZ.
Mandown had mentioned hed be in the area, so I took a little trip. Great trail filled with fun fast, then some great tech sections. Mandown has more (and better) pictures from riding it the previous day but here is what Ive got:
Fun Tech section:
Mandown entering the same (camera crapped out so only 1 pic):
Up and over:
Lost of cactus out here lead to:
Scenery time, Nice little Valley:
Cool features out here gonna have to hike it with the wife:
View on the way up:
Next is South Mountain. Old Man, one of the many options from the top of South Mountain. Ive ridden National (and the second option - Mormon trail) up and down a few times, and was looking for something else. A few guys I talked to were saying that Old Man was tough so I had to try.
I went along with the only guy willing to take me down the trail not that fastest, but a great guy and more than willing to shuttle any day:
Some of the terrain:
I love to see vegetation growing on rocks:
Some riding shots:
Not exactly huge crashes... but look out for Cacti:
And dont know what happened here but the trail is about 15 up to the right from buddy:
And a nice end to the day:
Another trip was telegraph. We actually started at the top of the main climb of National and made our way west, some fun trails to get across:
Dude feet on pedals!!!
Just below the towers:
More fun trails:
This portion is pretty fun do not fall towards your right youll drop between 20 to 50 feet and land on a road:
Then we get to Telegraph path way to many hikers for it to be a regular DH run but still fun:
Bruce got a nice perspective but maybe should sit a little further back from the trail next time:
The last AZ ride is Desert Classic fun XC ride that is not too challenging, but absolutely awesome right now because of all the recent rain. I actually ride there from my house, starting in from the road:
Entering the park:
Onto the main trails:
Damn its green! Looks like grazing land!!!
But its still mostly rocks:
And Finally a little Vegas action, i.e Bootleg:
It was cold:
But the staff was friendly and accommodating of my bikes:
Only one problem.. bikes on the cart were a bit too tall:
Anyway again not a lot of images., but a few. Newbies first time not bad:
Me:
Favorite trail (Ginger) beat me like a red headed step child:
-BB- showed me up on every section of Ginger:
Thats about it way out of shape and not riding nearly enough, but still getting out there when I can!!!
