No cycling on the walking tracks at joshua tree, so did a loop on fire roads through the desert - fun times in the sand, and great views.

National trail and desert classic at south mountain. Definitely the most technical so far - walked heaps of the national trail - but it was awesome anyway, and the views over phoenix were pretty cool. desert classic was super fast and fun - washouts like k-trail, but without the technical rock riding.

drove through to joshua tree.

Lost gold mine trails at Apache Junction, east of Phoenix. K-trail was a new contender for best trail ever. Lots of steep, fast crossings through the washouts. Big cactus country here.

Rest day in Prescott. Nice historic town. found an awesome bike shop to get brakes fixed - they had a great collection of historic road bikes and other cool stuff.

Goldwater -Lynx loop, with some extra single track sections. Big day out, and very cold. The loop had everything - some of the best sections of single track I've ever ridden, and quite a few miles of pushing uphill through lose rock (but then worth it for over an hour of downhill singles). Lesson for the day was how to ride old icy chewed up snow.

rear brake gave up halfway around today. better find a bike shop tmw.

A bit of stuffing around trying to find a way across the creek, then a change of plan and we rode the old post / ridge loop in south sedona.

Cathedral rock, which is what we'd planned for the morning. more big sections of slickrock ledges.

drove to prescott.

West Sedona tour, with some add-ons. Mescal trail was a highlight - riding the narrow slickrock ledges around the hills. Struggled a fair bit at the end - its a lot of intense single track in one go!
