This morning's plan was to ride up Mingus Mountain through Jerome, after first doing a recon of the route with everyone in the car. We decided to bail once we saw how narrow and busy the road was, and it didn't help that it was starting to rain as well. We had to make do with some huge views and a very nice lunch in busy downtown Jerome.

Then it's a nice stop at Tuzigoot National Monument to burn off some of that no-ride energy. Gabe is quite the goofball.

Our last stop is Montezuma Castle before heading south for warmer weather down in Scottsdale. We didn't get any photos down there, but Gabe and I had a nice ride around McDowell Mountain.
