Secret at Secret

Distance:
Fellow Rider: Mike
Notes: Mike showed me the new secret at Secret Trail. It is a trail that takes off from the Graskey side up the hill to the south.

Road Ride

Distance: 14.2
Average Speed: 18.1
Notes: Happy with my average speed after 3 weeks off the bike.

White Tanks

Distance: 11.5
Fellow Riders: Mike
Notes: After a couple of weeks off due to a softball injury I finally climbed back on the bike this morning. It was my first time at White Tanks in ages. Mike and I did the technical loop twice but only had one switchback climb in us. As much as I love the downhill after the switchbacks I just didn't have the energy to go up again.

Road Ride

Distance: 17.3
Average Speed: 20.2
Notes: Went out for a late afternoon ride. Felt good and pushed hard, was able to maintain an average of over 20 mph on a level road. Started cramping a little on the way back but was able to avoid stopping.

Road Ride to Stetson Valley

Distance: 15.3
Average Speed: 19.1
Top Speed: 40.2
Notes: Rode up and over the hill between Deer Valley and Pinnacle Peak. Continued north on 55th Avenue and rode past Deem Park hooked up with Stetson Valley Parkway until it dead-ended. It is beautiful up there with all of the hills around. There is a gravel bike path up in that area that it would be fun to try on the mountain bike. Not that it would be a challenge mountain bike excursion, but it would be fun to explore what's there. I'm curious if it goes up and over to where Bob & Kathy live. On the way back down the hill by Thunderbird Park I hit 40.2. I probably could get a little faster but I'm paranoid about wiping out and getting run over.

Road Ride

Distance: 24.2
Average Speed: 19.2
Notes: Road the trail system down past I-17 and back.

Road Ride

Distance: 10
Notes: Late start this morning. I almost didn't go, but decided I needed some exercise.
