The ride I chose to begin before the main trailhead since it was the closets trail head. The trail started off fast and smooth and laced with cactus of course. It was a hot mid day with plenty of sunscreen and sweat. They are hotter than average here right now, a 90F is pretty unwelcomed in my opinion, about as hot as I ever want to be, but not even close to how hot it will be in the next 6 months. I chugged on until I hit the network and hit the phone as I maneuvered through the webbing and cactus. I must say I was enjoy the trail, the desert was suprsingly pleasant with green and flowers and spring! The trail was rocky and a few tough ups abut I was holding it together.
With the help of the trailforks app which I absolutely adore, I was now on the secret trail. This trail was so much awesome, tight twisty and lots of eye candy. A trail built by mountain bikers that utilized the terrain wonderfully. It was over too soon as I found myself on upper ridge but still on a sweet sweet trail. It was over pretty quick as I rode back on the sweet fast stuff I rode in on. Lots of rocks so far between South Mountain and now Usery Mountains. The new smells, plant and critter life is a great sight, very cool to be in a completely different environment, still missing my CT trails though.
