Got back on the dirt. Or should I say ‘rocks’ of Tucson this weekend. Good stuff!
Pending monsoon rain? I lucked out and stayed dry.
Rolling out on Tanque Verde with Redington/AZ Trail/Milagrosa in mind for day one. Eventually met a stranger by the name of Dominic who ended up riding with me. He used to race the NORBA scene back in the late 90’s. Good guy with great skills…
Flowing trail and high country grasslands turns to…
big bouldery rocks with plenty of pointy edges as you descend back to the desert.
Cacti make for great ‘freestyle accupuncture’ treatments.
Day two I had some better looking company. She’s also highly skilled. We rode over ‘Golden Gate’, which is in the background. More rad trails followed too.
Chloe riding up the rocks of Tucson Mountain Park.
All in all it was a fine return to the desert MTB scene. It’s rugged and tough as ever and I’m loving the challenge. You gotta have skills and searching for more always makes for a great weekend. After a second consecutive weekend without racing I’m feeling very refreshed. I might have to find a way back for ICEMAN…
