mullerb's musings

Ugh. After a week of travel to AZ and no rides the week before, this felt tough. Good though.

A bit of a boring hile until the last mile to the top.  And then the ruins near the bottom.

On the way to Cottonwood AZ once again.  This time via Chaco.

A short hour and a half with Each on a quiet Wednesday. All easy 8s and 9s but added up to 50 points. Good enough for now.  I'll be looking to go every week or two this winter in the hopes of doing some good outdoor climbing next spring.

Wandered around the woods in the snow at the top of Magnolia Road trying to connect with the Twin Sisters trail. Private property and snow obscuring the ground got in the way though and I gave after half an hour or so.  Headed over to the Forsyth Canyon trailhead instead and bikes and couple of miles up the dirt road and then up the ridge to the west. Excellent to be somewhere new with decent views.

Big and meaty ride this one. Up up up up well over 3000ft. A bit more pavement than I would really like but you take what you can get. Left the house at12:30 got back into town at 3:45 after a wicked fun schuss down Magnolia and Boulder Canyon. Met Leah and Rach in town for the ride home.

Pleasant lunch ride with Al. Mellow with lots of gabbing. Warm and blue skies. Great escape from work...

An after work just before dark ride up to the overlook and around on the short Ponderosa loop.
