Az Country ridin

[azpnshr]

I had a full day planned: I was supposed to go shoot with some friends this morning out in the desert but they all bailed over the last two days. I had then planned to go ride this afternoon with another buddy but he called me this morning saying his kid was sick so he had to do the 'fatherly duties' and stay home.

So, not sure of whether to take this as an omen that I needed to crawl back in bed or read the omen as offering an ample opportunity to go sightseeing, I went with the latter.

I went East and checked out an area that I had read plenty about but had yet to experience. Superslabbin most of the way got me to the rural areas; the loop starts in Superior and goes to Globe, passing gorgeous rock areas. The landscape changes to open country settings as I traveled to Winkleman and then circled back to Superior, only to return to the superslab to get home again.

It was a gorgeous ride; I had a lot of time by myself to admire the landscape and enjoy the rural sweepers and elevation changes. About 300 miles from garage out to garage in.

I included a link for photos since I can't figure how to put the image for photobucket on here (says photo moved/deleted).
