Riding White Tanks Comp/Tech loop and Ford/Mesquite loop. Found a brand new tube on the trail, left it at the bike stand in the Comp Track parking lot. Hopefully the original owner finds it. Saw a snake on Grey Fox and horse back riders on Ford Canyon trail. Another humid start to the day. Couple of damp spots left over from Thursday rains.

Despite my best efforts I just slowly wilted away in the heat. Pulled the plug at 19 miles. So it goes.

Pleasant 78 degrees when I left the house this morning. Temp rose quickly until I was rolling my through the Comp Track parking lot. Did the Tech loop, up the triple switchbacks (yay!), back to the parking lot, then a second loop counter clockwise on Gray Fox, Ironwood, Ford, Waddell, Mesquite, Ford, Ironwood, and Gray Fox. Had a little more left in me so I did a mini loop on the Comp track taking the first cut over. Saw 3 hikers on the Comp loop, 1 hiker on the Tech loop, 2 bikers and a trail runner on Ford Canyon. Got to spend some time chit-chatting with an old fella (that will be me soon enough) on a 'Lectric bike in the parking lot.

Decided to ride White Tanks this morning. Mixed it up and Parked at the recently remodeled Area 4, very nice! There's a short connector trail over to Mule Deer, then Ford Canyon for a bit to Mesquite, Waddell, Ironwood, Gray Fox over to the Comp Loop. Skipped the Tech Segment today. So happy to make it up the switchbacks today! Made my way back to Gray Fox after completing the Comp Loop, then Ironwood, Ford Canyon back to Mule Deer and Area 4 parking. Saw a rattlesnake in the bushes in the horse staging lot. Passed 2 hikers and a biker on the Comp Loop. Various other hikers a 2 bikers on the other trails. Made a stop at the windmill pond. Got started after 7, heat wasn't too bad, there was a nice breeze.

Lunch ride at the White Tanks today. Started with the Competitive Loop with the Technical Segment. Then continued with a counter clockwise loop on Gray Fox, Ironwood, Ford, Waddell, Mesquite, Wild Life loop, Ford, Ironwood, and Gray Fox back to the parking lot. Saw a horse at the start of my ride in the comp track parking lot, was still there when I returned 2 and a half hours later. First time I've visited the windmills off the Wild Life trail. Nice little pond/oasis! Took a lap around the campground and stopped to chat with a couple from Minnesota about their travel trail. Crazy windy today. Thought my van was going to blow over on the way home. Saw some hikers on the trails here and there. Lots of cars in the parking lots. Campgrounds were busy, but not full.

Stopped at the White Tank Comp Track for a quick spin on my way home from Surprise pickleball this morning. Couple of vehicles in the parking lot, but didn't see anyone out on the trail. Excellent temps for my 10am start time.

Riding White Tank trails this morning. Saw Scooby Doo out with Daphne near Waddell and Ford Canyon. Should have asked for a photo, but was too shy :)

Let the house before sunrise for the drive to White Tanks and it was already 86 degrees when I got there at 6:30. My favorite parking spot was just repaved with some bright white lines. Started on the Competitive loop with a side trip up the Technical segment. Made it up the triple switchback climb, it's been a while, I credit the new Bontrager Gunnison tires (lol). Saw one other biker, who parked aside of me, on the way back to the van to get my sunglasses. Went back out for a counter-clockwise loop on Desert Fox, Ironwood, Ford Canyon, Waddell, Ford Canyon, Ironwood, and back on Desert Fox. Saw that same biker finishing his ride and loading up his bike on the back of his new Tacoma. Great sunrise and super moon set this morning.

I guess playing tennis yesterday took more out of me than I expected. My butt was dragging this morning. Still managed to drive up to the White Tanks and ride the Comp and Tech loops. The trails must have been recently worked as they were in excellent condition!

Second MTB ride on the clipless system. Nervous about crashing on the triple switchback climb. Made it around the 1st switchback, no problem. Didn't full commit on the 2nd switchback and fell to the uphill side, thank god, while still stuck in the pedals. Made a go at the 3rd switchback, got 80% around and chickened out, got unclipped, whew! Easier than I thought to get restarted on the hill. Hot sun this morning, but cool breeze was appreciated. Saw one other biker on Ford Canyon trail. Couple of cars in the lots around the park.

Toasty start to the morning. Ironically, the only shade was on the triple switch back climb at the back of the competitive loop. Saw one hiker and one jogger.

Got a late start at White Tank Regional Park this morning, but didn't mind the heat and there was a nice breeze. Did the comp track loop and then on to Gray Fox, Ironwood, Ford Canyon, Mesquite, back to Ford/Ironwood/Gray Fox. Saw a nice Roadrunner hanging out near my van.

After work ride on my skinny tires. Bad idea! It was definitely a challenge and I ended up getting a pinch flat. Threw in the spare tube and made my way back to the truck.

Slipped in a ride just before sunset. Did the Tech loop and Comp loop. Only saw one other rider heading the reverse direction near the parking lot. Got half way round the 3rd switchback and pushed to the top.

Out for a soupy ride with Craig this morning. The sands were soft and the gnats were thick. Threw in a side of Tech Segment to add some excitement. Cool clouds on the mountains.

Went out to the White Tanks to renew my annual pass and to ride with my buds, Carey and Dan. Rode the competitive loop and technical segment then continued on another loop around Ford, Mesquite, etc. Great afternoon for a ride!
