Saturday Oct. 8th is our anniversary! We had planned to do the infamous Porcupine Rim trail with friends. We woke up to rain, and we had a scheduled shuttle to the trailhead at 10:30am. The shop called and cancelled due to mud on the trail.
They did however, suggest that a good ride today would be Poison Spider. It has a lot of sections of sand, that would be better once wet. It's an 8 mile continuous climb with a "death on the left" hike a bike trail down to the river which completes this ride as a 14 mile loop. Huh. We got to the trail head and began riding at 11:30am, and got back to the car at 4:00ish. Ugh. The sun came out at about the middle of the ride! Gorgeous views during the "hiking" portion, but crazy exposure. (like 1,000 foot sheer drop off to the Colorado River). Took lots of pics! (Also took Sunday off to recover and watch the Seahawks game) :)
Great anniversary day!
