I went to the San Pedro Riparian Conservation Area to do some intensive trail riding / training on my 29er MTB - with several different surfaces available, both double & single track as well as the old railroad bed. I focused on two different TH access points - The NE TH (for climbing and downhill looping + single track woods riding) and the Fairbank TH (for multiple surface looping) south of Hwy. 82 - I knew that given that it was a Thursday I would have the river valley pretty much to myself to train off-road.

The San Pedro River remains quite swollen and muddy - a crossing by foot or bike was out of the equation. The single track trail in the wooded areas by the riverside were completely overgrown and thus added to the tactical potential when riding them at speed. All in all this was a very satisfying outing with plenty of variation - I went home wanting more, and feeling fortunate to have such lands available for personal usage!

I am only logging 'Bike' outings that entail known trails or true off-road bike-packing types of rides...
