We got lucky with the weather this time with clouds keeping the sun off of us for most of the ride. The Italian Springs section of the AZT was great up to the intersection of FR 37. After that we tried to continue on, but the trail turned into a hike-a-bike with loose rock everywhere. We decided to head back and take FR 37 to 4424 to 4417 that took us back to Redington Rd. After that the sun had come out, but at least we had the downhill for the rest of the way home. In the last quarter mile, my front tire started to go flat, so I had to sprint the rest of the way home. I rolled up to the doorstep right as the slime in the tube was sealing the hole. Thankfully the flat happened so close to home and not on the switchback descent of Redington.
Overall it was 4 hours of riding and just over 34 miles covered. The Garmin map is here.

dig the purple socks...wear those for the 50/50 and I will wear my candy cane socks.
Oooo...I have candy cane ones too! They have fussy trim though so they are a bit hot in summer. But I'll definitely have the purple ones for the 50/50. :)
