The Nighttime is the righttime

With summer finally beginning to bear its brunt on Phoenix we decided to start up a weekly night riding schedule.  Most rides will be in the east valley on Wed. nights, but that can always change. This past week we ventured over to South Mountain (SoMo) to hit up the main attraction: up the Mormon Loop then up National to the base of the waterfall & return back down National.  I'd like to thank Phil for the photos as my point -n-shoot is garbage at night.

Boom! Goes the Dynamite.

A few of us met up last week to do some exploring on the Pima/Dynamite trail system.  It was new terrain for the others and a long overdue (about 12 years) return for me.  We were planning on following a course that was set up for a fund raiser a few months ago, but I jumped the gun on our first turnoff and from there we just improvised our ride.  The area is really a fun place to just get out and ride.  No huge climbs, nothing too techy, just twists, turns and whoop-de-doos everywhere!

It's nice to see the trails are being marked
