AKA: The Roller Coaster Ride!  This one is so much fun.  It starts with a nothing-special dirt road, with washboard, and an uphill grade, but then opens up to fantastic views, barely-traveled roads, and some of the most fun rolling downhill dirt you can imagine.  Photos don't really do justice the up-and-down, but still downhill, nature of that second half of the ride.

Kathy had to work (remotely) the first half of the day, so this was a perfect-length ride to do.  Just outside of town, 3 hours ride time, and extremely gratifying.  We capped off the day with a visit to Barrio Brewing Co for some cold beer and tasty food.  An excellent day.

Thank you, once again, to Andy from SAGG (Southern Arizona Gravel Grinders) for making and posting this excellent route!  It was a favorite from last time we were in the area and didn't disappoint on this second visit.
