Sunday morning we had a large group that climbed up the Mormon/National Trail on South Mountain and blasted back down. We had a great day of riding and most devoted some time to technical riding on the waterfall both going up and coming down. It was one of the first good and warm rides with temps in the low 80's- which also brought out a lot of hikers to navigate around. I personally had a good trip going up cleaning several technical sections I had never made it through before. Which bolstered my confidence just enough to send me into a stupid endo on the way down. Funny how that works. Rendevous was back at the parking lot for a tailgate buffet of banana bread, cinnamon rolls, trail mix and beer.

Walking already?
Not all walked...
At the waterfall
Shots of those going up
Still going...
At the turn around point
Obligatory desert shot
Down the waterfall series
False confidence + indecision + sharp rocks = this. I also managed to rash my knee and ass as well in this penalty for failure.
Breakfast and beer is served...
