Personal interests
Cycling, writing, mountains, music, learning & improvement.
The photo (March 2005) is on the Arizona Trail just north of Superior, AZ. The ride started on beautiful singletrack, but our re-route around the wilderness turned into 5 hours of brutal hike-a-bike down a severely washed out Pinto Creek.
