Solo ride today, but I decided to hit the hills. It was 70 and sunny in PHX today, no wind, to speak of. I headed down to Mummy Mtn, one of my favorite climbs, smooth roads, very little traffic.

This is the ride up heading East to west, the hard way.


This is looking back down from the halfway point.



From the top looking North towards Carefree



East towards Fountain Hills, and Four Peaks and the McDowell Mtns



From there I headed South a ways, and decided to climb up Sage, a dead end on the East side of Camelback. These are at the top, looking East.





Yeah, it's straight down




From there I figured I should do the South side of Camelback, go up Dromedary to the castle. I'd never done this before, it topped out at 21.6% on the GPS, after corrections. Going down was worse than climbing up.





I did make it to the top , and caught my breath long enough to snap a picture of the castle.
