No chance to get out on Christmas Day, though it was very warm here today, albeit windy. I did manage a nice ride yesterday, on Christmas Eve. My usual route, 30 leisurely miles though Paradise Valley, in the Mummy Mtn area.
Here is the North side, looking East, Four Peaks in the distance. The roads suck in PV, the frost heaves are killer
Up to the top of Hummingbird, ready for the roller coaster down, sharp right back up.
Stopped at the top just for you folks, looking off to the North East. I think I can see RFC's house from here.
Heading down for the last blast, a 40+mph coast, coming back up at 12%+ is harder.
Long shadows, even at noon
Heading back up, hill repeats are good for you. Rich people live up there.
Stopped at the top to take a picture for you folks, the road drops pretty fast here.
Now I'm down South of Mummy, on the North side of Camelback. That's the head of the camel, and the Praying Monk rock formation just above and to the right of my house.
Barry Goldwater's house, overlooking the Camelback Inn GC. Barry knew real estate.
All in all a great ride.
