Papago Park Single Track - Phoenix Arizona Mountain Bike Trail

It was a little muggy today - prolly about 90-92 degrees when we hit the park entrance. It was the second ride for my wife on her new Gary Fischer Big Sur.

We took the lower loop around the golf course again, but hit it twice this time - just got the cyclometer on the night before, so I've got the specs on the trail - 2.5 mile loop - hugging the golf course fence from start to finish.

Great for sprint workouts, or if you have a beginner to break in, or if you need to introduce a rider to the loose, red, Arizona, desert terrain.

The wife's picking it up well - no fear - but that's to be expected from the ex-mountain climber who once rode for the Northern Arizona University Cycling Team. She's ditched the road, and now we're slinging' sand together!
