Biking the Sunrise Trail in Scottsdale, Arizona
I found some trails about 5 miles from my house. They have nice elevation changes so they should give me a decent workout. I haven’t been on the bike since my Park City trip in early August so I need to get back in shape.
I parked at the Lost Dog Wash Trailhead to get to the Sunrise trail from the west. Here is a link to a map of the trail. I brought my Garmin to map the trail. I wanted to get to the peak which is a 1,100 foot gain and about 2.5 miles. As you can see from the Google Earth map I didn’t make it. The finger points to the peak.

| I was so close, only about 1/2 mile. But it was 92 degrees outside and I didn’t want to push it. |

| This picture below shows the switchbacks leading up to the crest that I stopped at. It was 1.8 miles from the trailhead to this point. It took me 47 minutes and many many rests to make it there. |

Wow impressive! I am going to attempt that trail tomorrow on a single speed trek 69’er, I hope I can do it!
