Finally, we do a lap at South Mountain 🌵 in Phoenix. Always really nice here. Things get really tough uphill on the National Trail. If you can't ride high steps, you can learn here - or push yourself uphill in one place or another. And Holbert is damn good too: probably the trickiest descent on South Mountain! 😍
