WOW! The family just got back from Arizona visiting the Fry's. When we decided to go to AZ my mind started to race! Where could I ride, did I want to ship my bike, is there anyone I know that lives in AZ that rides, etc. After checking several options; packing and shipping my bike out would be the best for me. The Rig was sent out ahead of us and was waiting when we arrived.
The only person I could think of that I might contact in AZ to ride with was someone who I had never met. Reading his blog from across the country was as close as I got. About 2 weeks before we would leave I contacted Yuri through his blog (AZ Rider on my blog list) just to see if he could suggest places to ride or even get together to ride.
After several emails and some phone calls Yuri and I would meet for a ride on the Black Canyon Trail. The trail was just off the table mesa rd. exit of rt.17. As we started the ride I soon realized that the trail was really good. Singletrack all the way. Tech in some spots and fast in others. The climbs were never to long or hard. I even got to do some stream crossing. Thanks to Yuri my first "real" ride in AZ was super.
Much more to come on the big Wendler family trip!
