South Mountain, Phoenix, Arizona

It's good in a certain travel range.

And we found ourselves here on South Mountain, guys, myself and guys on our team, we love the LT and the way we can just hammer everywhere.

But it's definitely a burlier, heavier bike.

And when we're used to riding the trails we ride on South Mountain, sometimes...

That bike is like, it almost doesn't give us enough excitement because it's not steep enough on South Mountain.

And so then we start pushing the AM.

Like, oh, I'd like a little bit more out of this chassis.

It's great stuff.

There's a mountain here.

It's called South Mountain.

I'm in Phoenix, Arizona.

I run all over that mountain.

So the high elevation much cooler.

So people are always like, you're gonna go up north to run.

And I was like, I'll just run South Mountain and be like, but it's hot.

Like, yeah, it is.

I've watched the 101 loop go in.

Both 202s, including finishing the 202 around the backside of South Mountain.

The 303 the widening of the 10 at the Broadway curve.

And in all of that time, we're just now talking about the Valley.

My daughter was four.

We went to South Mountain.

Yeah, we went to South Mountain here in Phoenix and she stepped out of the car.

We were all getting out so we can, you know, explore.

And when she stepped out, there was, I guess, her grandfather parked right on top of the rattlesnake.

My daughter was four.

Oh my God.

We went to South Mountain.

The next evening, January 23rd, it happened again.

Lynn watched as three, then six yellow lights materialized in a perfect line against South Mountain on the south side of Phoenix.

But this time, Lynn was ready.

She grabbed her video camera and recorded 17 seconds of video.

Tim estimated the object stretched several city blocks from end to end.

As it passed overhead, it seemed like it was only 100 feet above them, but he could see stars behind it, distorted and wavy as if he were looking through water.

The lights grew brighter as they approached, then gradually dimmed as the formation continued south, eventually disappearing behind South Mountain.

Another report came from a psychiatrist and pilot who was driving with his family on Interstate 10 to a swimming competition.

Kira and I did podcast, um, which I think we've done it twice.

We've done, we've podcasted from South Mountain here in Arizona.

Amazing.

Yes.
