The Unexpected Field Trip to South Mountain

On Thursday, I was notified that my AZ Bar Strategies class was canceled.  Excited to have two unexpected hours of daylight, I raced in our minivan from Downtown Phoenix to South Mountain.  South Mountain is known for its rocky terrain, which makes both the assents and descents exciting.  After a quick change into my MTB costume, I began my climb of the Javelina Trail.  Javelina is a short trail (roughly 2 miles), but it has some challenging sections and a bit of exposure.  From the top of Javelina, I continued up the Mormon Trail.  Since I was running out of daylight and needing to get back to school, I turned around at the National junction and bombed back down to the car.  The results were a rather quick yet fullfilling ride.
