i guess it's time to start cranking out what azt sections i can solo, as out and backs. been trying to time my availability and the weather for this one. thought i had it nailed today...except for the nonstop maelstrom winds all pumpkin day :bdh:

hit the trail right as the sun was rising and started off pretty cold. warmed up enough pretty quickly and was on my way. a charming segment with more classic southern AZ rolling hills and long views. kinda of a roller coaster of ups and downs kept my attention. excellent trail build and maintenance with no route finding issues at all. took a short break at northern TH for about 20 minutes, hit the B's and blasted out like a raging pumpkin. about 4.5 miles and two sizable climbs from the end, the weather turned (even more) quite crappy (dark skies, big temp drop, etc) so i hit the jets and brought it home fast. started raining, albeit briefly, about 10 minutes after i got back to my ride. that woulda been pumpkin COLD.

this segment bridged the gap between the border and freeman road.

2 deer and 1 jack rabbit were the only lifeforms i saw all day
