I think they still close the road up South Mountain on Sunday mornings. One day I'll get brave enough to peddle up there.

Going to Bisbee while you're here?

Dennis actually passed me a map of trails and such - plus suggested a couple rides local to where I'm staying, too. Hopefully the South Mountain road is closed Sunday mornings and I can get up to do that, too.
It was a long drive down from Seattle (didn't do myself any favors completing it in one 21-hour sitting), so my jaunts to riding locations will be relatively short. BBB is out of the question in that regard; there are some great photos of the place courtesy of
northbend and others when they rode out that way last year, so I'll just enjoy it vicariously through those
