This ride sure seemed longer than 6 miles. There was about 100 yds of hike-a-bike, first because steep, shale strewn climbs are not my forte, and second because Judy would kill me if I broke something on a steep, technical descent while riding alone. I do not want to hear the song, You'll throw your back out"!!

Which way did you go around the lollipop on the west end? I had one of my biggest Phoenix "oh shit" moments over there coming down that loose shaley SOB.

I went counterclockwise. Up the easier part on the west side, then down toward the east. I know exactly which loose shaley part you're talking about. I started riding down it, had a couple of "oh shits" and walked the rest of the way down that SOB. I'd rather chicken out than explain to Mom why I didn't.
