Look for some moving SPOT points tomorrow morning here: http://topofusion.com/tracker-grandloop.php Chad and I are going to try the ‘Grand’ Loop in reverse (the wrong way). This route nearly torched me back in ’06, but I did finish. Weather is looking MUCH cooler, but mud/rain could be an issue, and it’s still a difficult loop. More …. [Continue reading] 
There was a bit of noise about the Red Ridge trail. A large crew were shuttling, Max was going to ride from town, much like Chad and I did a few months back. With temps still reaching for 100 degrees I didn’t much like either of those options. Then it hit me. Combine Red Ridge …. [Continue reading] 
Enough Sweetwater rides with my sweetie? Not possible! Enough Sweetwater pics? Not possible! I can only speak for myself, but I can’t get enough of either. Something we’d never seen before here (above). There was a puddle in the middle of the trail, and that inverted Saguaro arm …. [Continue reading] 
It was high time I explored the latest additions to Robles Pass, and after surviving my PhD comprehensive exam, it was high time for a solid ride. I rode from home. Early, but not too early. Sleep meant more to me than surviving the heat. Moon + giant Saguaro flowers. Look close and …. [Continue reading] 
What’s a poor Tucson couple to do when it’s 100 degrees and you’re too lazy to wake up early to ride/run? Head to the trees, of course! Like winter dwellers flee to the desert in the winter, we flee to the forest in the summer. With the rest of Tucson, so it seemed. …. [Continue reading] 
We’re regularly topping 100 degrees these days in Tucson. But that didn’t stop me from rolling out at 3pm, en route to the Friday Sweetwater ride with Paula. I sought refuge in side trees along the river path. The west wind was there, at 10 mph. Yet I felt top. I’ve struggled with …. [Continue reading] 
I needed to find my way up to Superior to fetch my car. Jobie kindly obliged when I asked, and to entice him I suggested we shuttle the nearby Six Shooter trail. Neither of us had ridden it, but it was rumored to be 98% downhill (about 3500′ of downhill to be exact) and nearly …. [Continue reading] 
The second half of the AZT 300 route has been calling me ever since I dropped out back in April. I’d been biding my time, waiting for a good weather window that lined up with my fitness/recovery/life. And it never really came. Forecasts called for 100+ degrees in the next week signaling the end of …. [Continue reading] It looks like I’ll be heading out on the Arizona Trail 300 route again. This time, going top to bottom (Superior to Mexico). Umm, yeah, it should be interesting. I felt like I had the northbound direction a little too dialed in. Should be plenty of intrigue going the other way. Most of these trails …. [Continue reading] |
