Hawes Trail = May 7, 2005

This is my first attempt to portray the varying terrain of the trail.

But stopping to take each picture kept me from getting into a rythm.

So I eventually gave up on pictures to better enjoy the ride.

Start next to Power Rd @ Thomas Rd	Heading North parallel to Power Rd	Continuing parallel to Power Rd	Easy stuff for warmup	Fun downhill
Winding around the vegetation	More of the same	More of the same...	Yup, more...	Almost back to Power Rd
One more turn	And we're in for a short jaunt along Power Rd (Bush Hwy)	Crossing the canal	Turning off Bush Hwy onto Hawes Trail	And the fun begins...
First junction ahead	Winding down and back up th other side	Back up...	Down and around...	And back up between the cacti
Nice and steep... keep pedalling...	Don't give up... speed up now...	Trail alongside the hill	Looking across the ravine	More of the hillside trail
Trail's edge looking down (~50'?) seemed scarier when I took the pic.	Speed up for momentum to make the climb easier	Trail ahead	Bits of trail going uphill can be seen	Gazing at Red Mountain (officially McDowell Mountain)
Looking back toward Mesa	Ahhh... a long downhill... and the fun begins	Steeper downhill	And uphill... grunt...	Red Mountain
More down and up...
