RED MOUNTAIN RUSH ♦ Hawes - MESA, AZ - FUN trail during the Golden Hour- Beautiful, Tech, and Flowy

I finally made it to Red Mountain Rush at Hawes. This trail was very fun, epic views all around. Great variety of riding conditions, and also fast, flowy and technical. There are so many great trails at Hawes, it is still my favorite place to ride outside Greater Phoenix! Trails also ridden to get to the top of Red Mountain Rush were L'Alpes d'Huez, some of Goat, Wild Horse, and Lance's. Mountain biking these trails keeps you on your toes and between the scenery and location its really hard to beat Hawes for mountain biking near Phoenix! #mountainbike #santacruz #santacruzbicycles #truckcamping #truckcamper #phoenixaz #phoenix #vegan #plantbased #plantpower #plantpowered #bikerchick #lovebike #arizona #desert #beautifulview

I remember I had a smile on my face at the end of this one. Two other riders came down a few moments after me and they also had big smiles on their face.

My favorite trail in the greater Phoenix area!

[@johnnicolini2562]

Looks like a great place to ride. I’ve been to Sedona, but never Mesa. You’re a great rider and an excellent climber. Good for you.

[@Sara.Jo.]

Oh wow, thank you! Yes, Hawes is worth the trip

[@user-zw5kq1fi4z]

That was a good ride with some sketch at the top. I'm gonna ride that one the next time I am out that way.

[@Sara.Jo.]

Oh, definitely ride it!

Quad Lock is a great way to secure a phone to bars so you can navigate real-time. Lael Wilcox uses it, so I got one:) I also live Tucson and bike a lot of the AZT and rocky trails. Quad handles it no problem. Even okay for the occasional crash. Enjoying your videos. Thanks

[@Sara.Jo.]

Awesome info! Thanks for watching 😊

[@johnhammond1093]

Thank you for filming the climb.....and the rest of the run. Very useful in my prep to one day ride Hawes. Enjoy the rest of your journey through the Southwest!!

[@Sara.Jo.]

No problem, glad it could help..that climb wasn’t too bad and 100% worth it!

Some AWESOME riding. This is one of your best !

[@Sara.Jo.]

Oh wow, thanks!

[@Danthemant1000]

Nice ride!

[@Sara.Jo.]

Thank you!

[@88broncoll]

I like the sound of your hubs.

[@Sara.Jo.]

They are kinda loud, thinking of eventually swapping them out…but I’m glad you don’t mind!

[@88broncoll]

Really I like the sound. Can I ask what brand. I am looking to upgrade my on my Marin so I am shopping for hubs. Nice day

[@LeviGarciaJul]

Wow wow wow !! this place is SUPER BONITO !!! Love it !!

[@Sara.Jo.]

Haha yes! Totally

[@just_beerad_g]

Wow! This trail looks like such a great time! Awesome!

[@Sara.Jo.]

Yes that trail is my favorite!! I ride it so much now it’s really a great loop 😊

[@just_beerad_g]

@@Sara.Jo. I can see why! It’s on my list next time I’m in Az!

[@lilblaster22]

I'm sub 501🎉 Hawes is my backyard. You ride so light on the bike and I can see how dialed in the bike is by the way you glide over our nasty breaking bumbs🎉

[@Sara.Jo.]

Awesome!! Thanks for following- and your very lucky to live so close to Hawes

[@JoMo027]

Gorgeous views!!

[@Sara.Jo.]

I went this afternoon again, it just gets better and better!

[@RentFreeMTB]

If it wasn't for the braking bumps/stairs going into the corners, RMR would be my favorite trail at Hawes! Awesome video! Definitely thought you were going down at 7:26!

[@Sara.Jo.]

Haha…. I know. Also…yes I agree RMR is epic and if they fixed it it would be amazing. Hawes is awesome

[@samharris3508]

Good riding. Ive been out that way several times. And that climb is absolutely brutal lol

[@Sara.Jo.]

Thanks! I love it there…that alps climb is getting easier every time 😅

[@jessesardina3260]

If you think that’s brutal try the climb up from the west

[@ericklaurila1293]

Glad you got to ride RMR. Such a great trail. Now that it is snowing here in Northern AZ, I need to plan a trip down to get some riding in.

[@Sara.Jo.]

Thanks, I’m glad I went too!

[@scottkramer1077]

One of my fav Valley loops!

[@Sara.Jo.]

For sure, it’s so good!

[@JoMo027]

Great footage! Loved the views and could tell the difficulty!!

[@Sara.Jo.]

It was so fun!

[@azmaier100]

i have not been Hawes in years, got to check it out...

[@Sara.Jo.]

It’s my favorite spot near Phoenix so far

[@TheRicardoSanchez]

One of the soul-crushingest grindy climbs of any Ive suffered. But yeah RMR is good times yo

[@Sara.Jo.]

Haha, the climb was a challenge for sure!

[@controller2152]

Red Mountain is a sweet downhill. Over 1050 ft in descent. Great Video Cheers

[@Sara.Jo.]

You got that right!

[@patrickgibbons8353]

You hang around and ride hawes for a couple extra days, everything else is gonna seem lame ! 😁

[@Sara.Jo.]

Haha yep, that’s a sentiment I can already agree with!

[@patrickgibbons8353]

@@Sara.Jo. also you were spot on with your analogy of Red mountain rush, it was so sweet when it first opened same with big sister bumpy AF ! Good luck and be safe 😁

[@yukonpeteneff]

RMR - that’s a must do !!!!

[@Sara.Jo.]

My favorite!

[@yukonpeteneff]

I did this loop today. Wow ... RMR so fun. Thanks for sending me there. Loved it. 😊

[@mfmonthefmf]

RMR is one of the best flows hands down! funny you got shit for saying Browns sucks :)

[@Sara.Jo.]

Hahaha oh yeah I did
