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.

Didn't feel like thinking too hard this morning so I grabbed the gravel bike and took a spin around Estrella Mountain Ranch neighborhoods.

Joined the Bagel Bunch (Doug, Danny, Jane, Joseph, Ken, Venjo) for a ride on Estrella Mountain Regional Park trails this morning. Crazy hazy, hot, and humid, and sunny! Started on Rainbow Valley and did a clockwise loop using Dysart, Butterfield, Gadsden, and Coldwater back to Dysart and Rainbow Valley. No drama on this week's ride. Saw 1 trail runner.

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.

Been a while since I got to ride with the Bagel Bunch. Today 8 of us set off from Estrella Foothills Community Park on Pirate trails Park Ave over to the EMRP Iron Ranger, into the park on Crossover, Pedersen to Toothaker, briefly on Gadsden, north on Coldwater, west on Dysart, a bit on Rainbow Valley, back over to the Pirate trails, Pirate's Cove, Black Jack, Jumpline, and Sunrise back to the Community Park. We had a tire that refused to hold air until we put a tube in it, a broken off pedal, and a big crash on the Jumpline trail. 100% of the starting riders finished today :) Wow, it was humid and hot in the sun. Saw a couple of hikers in EMRP.

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.

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.

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.

Riding Estrella Mountain Ranch neighborhoods this morning. Got out a little earlier than normal, which was nice, but the temps were a higher. Ran into my biker friend Jane and got to spin with her for a couple of miles.

Took the fat bike over to EMRP for a ride this morning. Parked at Navy and crossed the street to Horseshoe trail over to the Rodeo Grounds and picked up Butterfield, then clockwise on Gadsden, Desert Rose to the service road to catch the end of the Competitive Track Long Loop, took the road from the Comp Track to the Desert Rose trailhead, up the hill and back to Gadsden, southwest to Coldwater to the Rodeo Grounds and Horseshoe back to the parking area. Sun was hot on my back this morning. Saw a pair of bike riders on Gadsden, 3 hikers on Toothaker at the Rodeo Grounds, and 4 trail runners on Desert Rose. Trails were all in good shape. Super tired when I got back to the van. Entrance station was unmanned again today. MCSO was on patrol when I was pulling in at 7am.

Was feeling pretty good this morning, so I took the Cutthroat out for a spin around Estrella Mountain Ranch neighborhoods. Hit a little bit of gravel here and there. Decided to give Elliot a try. No traffic for the first half mile, I was thinking what was I so afraid of? Got to the curve and there was a tsunami of traffic including big trucks. There's just no safety margin on that stretch of road. Great weather for the end of July!

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.

Been busy and haven't ridden since last Sunday. Did a great loop at EMRP this morning. Surprised to find no one at the entry station at 6:40am on a Saturday morning. Lots of vehicles parked at the Horseshoe (NAVY) trailhead parking area. Started on Horseshoe over to Rainbow Valley, Dysart, Butterfield up and over to Gadsden, Fly Catcher, Gadsden, Butterfield, Cold Water down to check out the new RV park, back around to Horseshoe to the parking lot. Saw 11 hikers and 2 bikers.

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.
