Yet another ride on Scott’s “ridiculous rides” list is complete. Lee, Alan and I took an adventure deep into the pain cave today, completing the Brush Corral Epic Loop. The loop was conceived and mapped years ago by me, but never put into action, mostly for lack of adventuring partner(s). General Lee was the man …. [Continue reading]

In case anyone thought the 50 year trail was still too hard, there’s good news: it’s *still* being cleaned. The one spot that was hard on the trail (inside Catalina State Park) has been cleaned a bit and there is now a cheap-bypass trail that goes all the way around it. On the upper loop …. [Continue reading] Resting and catching up continues here at TopoFusion HQ (aka a card table with a computer on it). Today I found myself at the ‘La Cholla Corporate Center.’ The waiting room’s every detail seemed designed as a space begging you to leave. Everything from uncomfortable chairs to horrid “Soft” rock blasting from a ghetto …. [Continue reading] The story goes like this. Tuesday 3/16: Alan and I spent our energies pedaling hard and steady to the gap known as Charouleau, then down the back side for some snow melt CDO refreshment. The water was moving fast and was ice cold; in contrast the day was hot and slow. We stood around …. [Continue reading] A new ride for me today: Mark Flint’s Canelo Pass / AZ trail loop. Yesterday I got a call from a Lance, who was looking for a ride. Later Mark called and expressed some doubt over Lance’s experience. But he sounded charged and excited to do the ride. When I pulled up at UofA …. [Continue reading] Spent the morning wandering around in the rain, searching for the perfect route for the new Arizona Trail from Oak Tree canyon to Fagan Lake (in the Santa Ritas). One storm hit the area while we waited for everyone at the 83 exit, then it was quite nice for an hour or so. Another storm …. [Continue reading] A couple of nice warm Suburban Assault rides thus far this week. I could get used to these temperatures — low 80’s and sunny. The evenings are just beautiful. I’ve been trying out and easing into my new pedal extenders, hoping that my right leg and knee will appreciate them. Only time will tell. The …. [Continue reading] Another great ride dreamed up by Lee today. Ever since the Tumacacori wilderness proposal, Lee has been exploring more and more of the country in his backdoor. Today the plan was to connect Ruby road with his Tubac to Arivaca route–at Bear Grass tank. I got excited about the route as soon as I checked …. [Continue reading] Today was the Sundown at the Pass running race which runs up and over Gates Pass. For the last two years I have tried and failed to watch the race near the pass, but this year was a success, though a narrow one. The race started at 5pm; we rolled out our driveway a bit …. [Continue reading] The sun is shining for the first time in days. We live a tough life here in Arizona. A rare crappy ride for me yesterday. I headed home from class with just enough time for a quick 1.5 hour ride. I spent half of (100% rain) wednesday working on my bikes, so I was excited …. [Continue reading] |
