| no partners | | Bike -> Jog -> Bike. Today I wanted to start from the southern Rock Peak TH and check out the Malpais loop, which would "finish" all the trails in the park for me, didn't estimate the increased bike distance from home or trail mileage lol. Bike was tough, took Gary & Judd, felt like it was steady uphill the whole way. Rock Peak Wash is 95% loose sandy wash, which was "fun" to jog in. Turned on San Tan Trail to the southern end of Malpais, then followed that trail clockwise. I liked Malpais, good mix of sandy wash and packed trails, was able to keep moving with only a few walking breaks through sand. Shaded wash felt good, this will be a haven during the warmer months. Was passed by two runners along this section. Took San Tan back down to Rock Peak to close out the loop, lots of bike traffic along San Tan, at least 15 within a mile. Rock Peak Wash trail and trailhead were empty on the way out. Took Brenner Pass back home, wasn't as steep as I feared, made for a nice change of views. Was surprised at the distances covered when I got home, didn't feel like that much.

Was able to (very slowly) jog from the top of Hedgehog to the parking lot, just in time to drive to kid's school and 30s after they were released.

Listening to Traffics John Barleycorn Must Die reminded me to have a single malt once back home 
. Lots of construction on Ellsworth and the alternate Ironwood makes for slow travel to Queen Creek.
