Park Ave Trail - Estrella Foothills
Partners none no partners
Squeezed in a mountain bike ride this morning on Estrella Mountain Ranch trails. Started on FINS and took Maricopa trail (Sunrise) over to Estrella Foothills Community Park, then Park Ave out to the Estrella Mountain Regional Park Iron Ranger, GNODS Connector down to GNODS, loop through GNODS trails then back home through EMR neighborhoods. Actually saw a hiker on GNODS trails, a biker on GNODS, and another at the EMRP Iron Ranger. Trails have some damage and accumulated sand deposits from recent rains.

Sunset ride with my neighbor Craig. Some trails are looking pretty washed out from the monsoon rains. Saw one other mountain biker on Wayne's World. Nice sunset. Great full moonrise.

Had to replace the rear tire on the gravel bike, so test ride time! Picked out a nice mix of terrain around Estrella Mountain Ranch neighborhoods and farm field roads. Happy with the new tire. Beautiful morning. Saw one hiker near Estrella Foothills Community Park.

Rolled out of the garage this morning and crossed the street to clock some miles on FINS trails in Estrella Mountain Ranch this morning. Hazy and humid, but the cloud cover was much appreciated. Saw one other biker out on the trails.

Took the fat bike out to do some exploring this morning. Jumped on the FINS power line at 185th Ave and headed west. Crossed Rainbow Valley road followed some jeep trails up into the hills. After some pushing up and sliding down gnarly rocky terrain, I continued west around the hills on the flatter desert. Ran in to a woman at the bottom of the hill, she didn't speak english, I don't speak spanish, so we faked a conversation for a bit with a lot of head nodding and both went on our way. Followed more desert and farm roads between Rainbow Valley and Tuthill. I was on Maricopa trail for a bit and barely missed a coiled up rattlesnake. I stopped for some pictures and the snake never moved an inch, which is just fine by me. Eventually got to the gas pipeline road that goes through some new community development construction on the way back to FINS.

Another wander around Estrella Mountain Ranch on the gravel bike riding neighborhoods, dirt roads, and gravel trails. Lots of walkers, joggers, and road bikers out today.

Great cloud cover this morning for a gravel bike ride in the neighborhood! Did a loop through Cantamia, lots and lots of people out enjoying the morning. Graveled it up on Sunrise trail, Corgett Wash, and FINS. Washed the bike when I got home, it's gotta stay pretty.

I was battling vertigo for a couple of days this week. Was feeling better so I jumped on the bike for an easy ride around Estrella Mountain Ranch trails. Started in FINS, took Maricopa/Sunrise trail over to EFHS, then Corgett Wash, Mulligan, Westar Hill, Lum Wash, back to FINS. Everybody was out walking their dog this morning. Saw one other biker on Corgett wash and a hiker on Mulligan.

Ample cloud cover inspired me to jump on the bike and hit the trails this morning. Even with an 88 degree start, riding in the shade was awesome! Saw 1 hiker on the trail near Proposal Pass.

July is finally starting to heat up, not that I want that, but I sure was enjoying the lower morning temps while they lasted. Started on FINS this morning and headed over to the Pirate trails, then GNODS, and back home. Had the trails to myself.

I was feeling pretty laggy this morning, but it was so nice while I was walking the dog, I felt compelled to take the bike out. Crossed the street to Muriel's Mile and headed up to the Hub, down Kim's Climb, Up Bearclaw and down Hurts Donut back to Muriels Mile. Then east to Northeast Extension, over to Entrance, Joey's Jaunt, Rusty Rake, Wayne's World, Jim's Hike a Bike up to Grunt, down to RIP, Upper Rita's, Connie's Causeway out to the powerline and home. Didn't see anyone on the trails, but did see my neighbor Dale on Chuckwalla Canyon. Some washed out sections of trail from the recent rains. Most noteably, Hurts Donut that I just did maintenance on, wah wah.

Took the fat bike out to the sandy roads and washes of the Estrella Foothills. Made my way to the southern fenceline of Estrella Mountain Regional Park and followed that east to the Estrella Mountains. Wandered around the base of the mountains for a bit then worked my south to the powerline and followed that back to GNODS trails. Took the easy way home from there. Say one MTB rider on FINS trails and 3 dirt bikers passed me on the powerline road.

Did some wandering around on the fat bike this morning. Started in FINS, Lum wash north across Elliott road to Gila river, spin around on some of the Cisco trails, Corgett wash to Estrella Foothills Community Park, Sunrise/Maricopa trail back to FINS. Temps in the low 80's and humidity over 50% to start. Didn't see any other bikers on the trails. Some dog walkers on Lum and Corgett washes.

Wasn't planning on riding this morning, but I was feeling restless and it wasn't that hot yet, so off I went. Worked my way around the neighborhoods and eventually ended up on Sunrise trail over to the Estrella Foothills Community park where I picked up Corgett Wash over to the Lakes. Around the Lakes then out on Hopi to Westar, then cut through FINS back to home.

Fat bike Father's Day ride this morning. Comfortable temps to start and desperately hot to finish. Finally got over the coughing from this two week old cold, but still haven't recovered my endurance. Started in FINS, took Lum Wash over to Cisco Trails, D-Votion, behind Safeway, cross Estrella Parkway, Pirate trails, Maricopa trail back to FINS. Saw some bikers and hikers on FINS and two hikers on D-Votion.

Still waiting for this stupid cold to go away, but managed to find the motivation to go for a spin, even before having coffee! Started from FINS (because I didn't feel like driving somewhere else), rode over to Estrella Foothills Community Park on the Maricopa trail (Sunrise), then Pirate trails - Park Ave, Rum Runner, Jolly Roger, Doubloon, Park Ave to the EMRP Iron Ranger, then down to GNODS trails for a loop and quick way home. Saw 5 mountain bike riders and a few couples out walking their dogs.

Easy loop around FINS. Found a water bottle on Upper Rita's. Still recovering from a cold last week, felt like I was dragging a 100 pound weight behind me. Saw a couple walking their dog, a MTB pusher with 3 dogs, and a MTB'r on a Specialized.
