Red Mtn. Mtn. Bike - Nate and Cody

Towickgnar indeed!

Some ups, some downs, and some fairly serious "no fall zones." The skull and crossbones on the map (serious rough stuff) was pretty serious and rough, to say the least. I wish I had the cohonees to shred that gnar, but there was a bit of pussy-footing going on for the very worst parts. Yeah I was wearing a helmet, but mashing down a 50 degree slope to a boulder-jump across five feet of un-ridable, bigger boulders with a hairpin turn and a cholla cactus on the other side... that just looked painful. Not to say that we didn't each end up with cholla sticking out of us by the end anyway. And Cody's leg got in a fight with his gear sprockets - the sprockets won.

But as an alternative to the typical city rides around Phoenix, this was well worth the trek. A must-do ride for Phoenix bikers.

  1. Where is this? How do you get there? How far from Phoenix?
