Did some riding north of flagstaff...

Amazing how lush and wet that area is already.. Early monsoon this year.

nice! No pics (because my phone had zero coverage on the camping trip and I enjoyed a phone free three days) but we were south of Lake Mary and Mormon Lake- very green, and wet. The north country is getting its rain finally!

Just accept that you don't know the secret handshake and get on with your life. It's sad, I know, but that doesn't make you any less of a person.

Not so much due to the early monsoon (however, it did come early) as it is to the late-spring storms. 'Twas the best June we've ever had in these parts, for certain.

Has caused the grass to grow greener, the flowers to bloom earlier, and the bracken to grow taller than any of us have ever seen.

Started off awesome on some trails at Granite Dells in P-town.

Ended the day decidedly not awesome when my riding partner fell on a freak OTB, broke his wrist, and sustained a moderate concussion.

I've never seen a crash like his. Little knee-high roller, and his bike *stopped* like it hit an invisible brick wall. His hands and face hit the ground with his feet still on the pedals.
I was able to splint his arm with a stick and zip ties, padded with his bloody gloves and got to elevation where I could call 911. Yavapai Fire was on scene in about 40 minute to extricate him.

The spring rains really brought out the ferns.

Then Sunday I rode my 3x9 and was to lazy to shift gears ;) No pictures that day
