A couple of little lumps on Globe Mine Road add interest to the ride down the fan

Occasionally I lose momentum where there's a lot of sand on this road and have to stop and walk. I'm able to ride parts of this road, since it's a slight downhill, but I still end up walking or "scootering" the bike often.

I wouldn't be able to ride this road in the uphill direction, at least not with a heavy load like I have. This road is indeed worse (sandier), as I expected, than the south fork of Globe Mine Road that I followed to get here.
