Groom Creek, Monday July 30

Zach's last ride before starting school.

We thought we were so smart. Thought we had a pattern figured out in the rain. We arrived out here the week before right in the middle of monsoon season. It had been raining every afternoon so we thought we could miss it if we headed out early. We were at the Groom Creek trailhead by 9am. Looking back it was probably a bit aggressive to try that trail anyway, after having been here for only a week. There's 1200 feet of climbing in the first 3 miles. I'm guessing we didn't even make it that far because we were caught in a torrential downpour. It started nice and easy and quickly turned into heavy rain, pea sized hail and the scariest and closest lightening and thunder I've ever experienced. The one good thing that came out of it was that the rain washed away the creak from the Blur.
