It rained yesterday so I was compelled to go ride Pedersen trail in Estrella Mountain Regional Park today. Started at Estrella Foothills Community Park and set out on some sandy two track over to the EMRP Iron Ranger. Then Crossover trail to Pedersen, Pedersen counter clockwise to Gadsden, Toothaker, back on Pedersen to Crossover, Park Ave back to parking lot. Stopped to chat with a mountain biker who was heading out to ride the sandy section of Pedersen, wished him well. Saw my Bagel Bunch buddies Jane and Doug who were riding in the opposite direction. Threatening clouds to the south had me expediting my loop until I broke my chain. I freaked for about a minute thinking about the 5 miles I was still from my van until I realized that I had a spare link, tools, and the ability to fix it. 14 minutes later I was pedaling my way out! First time doing a chain repair on the trail, went well. We didn't get much rain last night, but Pedersen sand box was feeling pretty soft. The washboard didn't seem as bad as last time. Maybe I'm wearing a groove, I should ride it more!
