Phoenix Trip: White Tanks Sonoran Loop Competitive Track

[Again, this RR is from Sean's post here.]

So with James back on board and the sun setting, it was time to head for the next camping and riding destination at White Tanks county park. Apparently the northern snowbirds still haven’t migrated back north yet, so all the regular RV camping spots were taken. But the overflow camping was even better. It put us 150’ from the start of the competitive track, one of 3 mountain bike only trail systems in Phoenix. Since we cut the day ride short due to first aid needs, it was time for a night ride to finish out this day.

It reminded us of lower Cobbles: open, fast, swoopy, just perfect for night riding.

During the day, probably more just ho hum.

Then it was time for the usual dinner rib feast.
