South Moutain Phoenix AZ
An excellent ride In Arizona from Proxy80!
 Woke up 4AM then headed to South Moutain; Kick Stand Up at 5AM.
Here we are at Television Towers at South Moutain Phoenix AZ, 0730 hours May 31st 2008.
You
can arrive here by coming to Central Ave and East Baseline Road. The
trek here was just an hour but going up this moutain was my first time;
so I took it slow. As I was riding up this moutain, I had a few
ostacles in my path; on my mind, well was thinking of my wife Janice
who's out with her sister. First people runners and walkers trying to
loose the weight, Ten Speed bikers on carbon fibre speeding around the
corners on those thin wheels of rubber. Second, the moutain was team
with small animal wild life that crossed my path. 3rd, rocks and small
gravel of sand that fell off the moutain side, yes, my rear slid a few
times when I was corning the road. I stayed 2nd gear all the way up,
the 250R was very responsive neogiating the curves and the view was
awesome. Sorry, I did this trek alone but I did have fun. Oh, my wife
Janice called me but thats another story in Alexandria Virgina.
Sorry Bro, Edited.
Ahh the fresh air, the smog isn't here yet.
When you get to the top here its highway marker 7.5 from the start up south moutain.
Looking
down, the road is very curvey, 250R handle it with ease. The air up
here was crisp, I thought charged near by those TV Antennas.
Also
had to watch out for bikers and walkers, can't race these curves
without hitting anyone. I didnt race. Ahhh look at that view. This
moutain had wild life teaming my path as I came up the moutain.
I believe this is the highest point in Phoenix AZ, we are looking south view; Phoenix is north side.
Be honest who is going to obey that sign?
Ok now I am getting thristy, time to down some H20. Ever since I got this bike I lost 10 pounds.
Can you guess how high we are?
That trail goes down, think you can hike that trail, I saw people enjoying the morning crisp air.
This
road wasn't bad going up or down, two view points are Television Towers
and Dobbing View which faces the south of the moutain.
Hikers will trek down hill from here.
Up the hill it banks down then hard right, I believe its a Gotcha.
