My partner and I went out for the day. We ran some errands. We also went out to her job site to do something.

On the way back, we stopped off at the local bike shop on that side of town. I got a new Surly 32t 94 BCD chainring to fit Rusty's stock cranks, and some chainring bolts. Came in at $40. I'm very excited. I'll take pictures later.

In other news, I had no idea browns ranch was an actual place. I just assumed it was similar to cholla mountain, or whatever. Anyway this trail is really easy and you get to see *a lot* of iconic Sonoran desert flora, and fauna if you’re lucky. If you live on the area I highly suggest it.

It’s actually pretty neat. There’s a bunch of signs giving historical info about ranch operations, which were active up until the mid 1950s (what!)

The cattlemen would drive cattle down from there through Scottsdale, before the roads were paved all the way down to the stock yard in Phoenix.

I’m not really into cowboys and larping as a cowboy, but the actual ranchers and stuff we’re living pretty neat (destructive, too) lives. Okay not the ranchers as in the white land owners but the ranch hands who ran the ranches. Which here was mostly Mexicans, and still to this day is.

Another cool fact: the seal of the city of Scottsdale features a man riding a bucking bronco. The man is a Mexican vaquero that was one of those legendary people who drank and smoke every day and loved to be 104.

So my first attempt at the #BikeTooter #CarryShitOlympics was a terrible misjudgement. I needed a 10-litre tub of paint, I have an MTB with front motor conversion and a rear rack, how hard could it be?

Día 4. Todo el mundo se ha puesto de acuerdo en circular a la misma hora, saturando las vías principales. Entre el exceso de coches es agradable encontrar más ciclistas; invariablemente (salvo quienes hacen ciclismo deportivo), en esta zona todos son guiris.

The view, the fresh air and the calmness sensation of being alone far from the concrete jungle it's what climbing makes it worth it... 😃👌🚲 🍃

Today I remembered that when budgeting for new wheels you also need to budget for tyres, cassette,.airliners and disc rotors... #cycling #BikeTooter #velophant
Day 4 of #30DaysOfBiking was our usual ride to the farmers market. This market rotates to a different field in the park and changes their opening time from 10am to 9am at the start of April. I was happy to see so many bikes out! Really beautiful morning for a ride. What we got at the market: carrots, lettuce, green garlic, radishes, spinach, cilantro, hot cross buns, bagels, flowers (last of the tulips, first of the ranunculus), pasta, & breakfast to eat there. #BikeTooter
