Yesterday was last day in Hurkin. Started day with laundry, coffee at River Rock, $40 of diesel, picked up new Grip shifter at OTE. Then steered towards Kanab to ride a new system on Tilt mesa.
SW desert land.
BLM developed this trail system for mtn bikes and class 1 M-bikes. Parking lot size sim to what a grocery store would have. Trail runs the perimeter of mesa with other trails inside. Just finished earlier this year. Place to stop and ride on the way to somewhere. Well laid out and built.
Prolly shortest ride lasting 36 mins riding 3.31 miles. System has more miles that necessitate descending then climbing back up to repeat.
Some patches of slick rock
All alone there.
Late afternoon ride. Transitioned from riding to sitting behind wheel for drive to Cottonwood Canyon outside the Escalante National monument. I found this spot on a previous pass thru. 21 degrees in morning.
This morning after oatmeal, coffee, and toast breakfast I continued to Page, now in AZ to ride Red Mesa, another brand new system of mesa riding on slick rock. Presently 32 degrees full sunshine but not moving the temp.
Stopped at Glen Canyon dam overlook.
Ride here shortly then continue to Sedona and city riding.
