silent sunday

about once a month the phx parks dept.
closes the road up south mtn to motorized traffic.
it's a cycling nirvana. great place to take the munchkins.




































































































































ran into bob and chris while loading up after the ride
and ran into mary ellen who was working at spokes
and doing her best for not ever having worked as a server.

who are you?

gary and critter managed
to crawl out of their respective holes
for a south mtn ride.
me too.




































































these women were praying loudly when we
hit buena vista. they were still there doing the same thing
after we rode national down to telegraph and back up the road.

lately i've been loving me some
climbing and hike-a-bikin stuffs.
the phx preserves has some stuff to
offer. a newish connector on 1a
that eliminates the hike-a-bike over the top
of the cheese grater makes some
surprisingly gnarly riding
more accessible. me like.

yuri's folly

why do i keep hitting my inside right ankle on my crank arm?
i need to learn to ride a bike.
