Hey clouds ova here!

It sure is getting spicy out, there were some clouds in the distance and I desperately wish they'd pay me a visit. Great ride on the steel beast, I took it down Iron goat and it didn't skip a beat.

River with a view

Riverview was the plan and I got cracking, my legs were uphased by Sedona and I deeply missed it but happy to be riding. I must say the trails felt butterly smooth compared to Sedona for sure! With lots of gas this was complete in no time and thoroughly enjoyed.

Chapel/broken arrow/high hog/ hog heaven

Robbie was still not feeling so hot so it was another one for me. I started at the chapel ona very tough climb, it got alot better once on broken arrow. Then onto High hog was brutal, some challenging terrain. I walked some bits and rode most, nice trail and it mellowed once onto hog heaven and it was over too soon. I was down for more riding but I think it was time to call it a day since Robbie was not feeling 100% and I felt bad. What a day!!!!!!!

Hi Line!

Since we were already in the lot this was a perfect opportunity to hit Hi line. Robbie agreed to meet me in a lot in less than an hour. I pedaled up Hi line with excitement. The trail was about as I remember, my favorite part half way opens up on massive rocks. Then things get wild towards the end, I walked some bits obviously but happily me and the bike made it back the lt unscathed to see how Robbie was doing, I felt terrible I was riding solo.

Slim shady, templeton, easy breezy

Oooooooo wheeee round two! I have rode slim shady some time ago, but never in this direction, it was a ton of fun doing down! Technical with some bobsleds ad views galore. Then it opened up and we skirted the mountain with Hi line tempting just above. Robbie was starting to hurt a bit and then a bloody nose got him a bit spooked, on top of that his heart rate was doing funny things. We made it back to the car and Robbie wanted to opt out of the next ride.

Mezcal and Chuch Wagon!!!!!!!!

The stars alligned and me and Robbie found ourselves at 6am headed up to Sedona for some riding! The first plan was to hit some mezcal and chuck wagone to get warmed up. It was blisful and pretty easy riding on 32x20 which I brought for day. I forget how beautiful Sedona is every time I see it, the place is off the charts! I was chasing a speedy Robbie around Mezcal and it was over too soon. We then hit up chuck wagon which was a first for me, after tightening my dropouts since I left them loose, phew that felt better! Chuch wagon was different but very enjoyable, especially the bits in the woods and streams! After 8 miles ride one was done and I was hungry for so much more!

Monday romp

It was up n over hawes monday, I thought we would have red rock by now but I can't complain. I love this loop so much it's such a good mix of Hawes, feel like your forever from the car when you get to the other side but it's a 90 minute loop.
