Hawes Trail

Distance:
Fellow Riders: Mike & Spencer
Notes: Last ride with Spencer before he moves to Colorado. Everyone was feeling a little out-of-shape due to a lack of riding. It was great fun on one of my favorite trails in the Valley.

Thunderbird Park

Distance: 12+
Notes: Rode from new house to T-bird Park. Rode the loop counterclockwise, which is more fun. After more than a month off the bike I was struggling.

Quick Neighborhood Sprint

Distance: 4.06
Ride Time: 13:42
Average Speed: 18.3
Notes: I'm feeling like my muscles are beginning to atrophy. My rides are fewer, further apart and shorter. I need to get serious again. Tonight I had to go out quick just because I had been working indoors on a computer all day.

FINS

Distance: 7.8
Ride Time: 0:52
Average Speed: 9
Fellow Riders: Mike & Spencer
Notes: It was a hot afternoon. We started about 5:45 pm. We took a different route than what I had taken before. Up Harv's Howl, to Jim's Star Pass to North Star, down Grunt, left around Roman's Rise, then instead of Randy's Ridge we took the new trail around the hill, Spent Spade to Muriel's Mile, around Boneyard, up Hurts Donut and back down to the entrance. I went down once and bruised the palm of my right hand while catching myself. I have a feeling that is going to smart for a couple of days.
On the way down Grunt we saw turtle in the middle of the trail. We moved him off the trial and I posed for a picture with him. I'll post it here once Spencer emails it to me. Hopefully it's not some endangered species that I'll go to jail for touching.

Memorial Day @ Hawes

Distance: 9+ (cyclometer blanked for a bit)
Fellow Riders: Mike
Notes: First time back at Hawes since I broke my face on New Year's Day. It was good to be out on one of my favorite trails. But as always, there is never enough time to ride all the routes I want. I'm going to have to come out here alone sometime, when I don't have to worry about anyone's schedule but my own.
We rode it a little different this time. Same route as usual up to the mine, but then we turned around and went back down. It was interesting trying things a little differently.
