Sedona Big Friggen Loop

So I came across this route on the Arizona Endurance Series and really like the idea. So I found a Saturday to take a crack at it. Starting off right at dawn it was nice and cool and I was excited. Hiline was over so quick as usual but man I love that trail! Then it was onto Balwdin and a very nice thereapeutic creek crossing, honestly that was my favorite part. Then a mix fo trail to get up to skyline and I was seeing why they picked that route it was by far the best over the other sucky routes. Crossed the road and was looking forward to some easy crusing on west sedona. Few more trails I have never rolled on that were great. Ground control was a nice surprise and enjoyed that! The rest was familiar and ran into alot of people for the next bit, good to see people enjoying themselves and being friendly. With west sedona behind me was onto thunder mountain, nice cruise on adante which I wish didn't end, then onto slow moving chunk on teacup and a nice welcome shaded cruise down Adobe Jack. Next up was Hog's area, was riding hogwash for the first time which was cool, but then broken arrow which sucked, and by now I was feeling some fatigue, but still moving just fine. Down a relaxing little horse and onto Llama where again not much fun and more work than I remember but onwards to the wrap this thing up! Wishing now the ride took bell rock pathway it did not, slim shady wasn't bad but once I peaked and rode it on down to the lot I was stoked, I did it! Was I fast no, was I happy with it, yes! 7 hours moving in Sedona, what a feat, loved it!

Mixed bag

Bouncing around Hawes to get through the grind, sure would love a new riding destination but Hawes is always good I shouldn't complain.

Still ok, kinda

Ocotillos are very colorful this year, not sure why, I guess they like extreme drought.

Highline and Two Ravens

What a glorious moring in Pine, loving te cool temperatures while they are still around. Highline was straight forward as was the return. I had enoughtime to play around and decided to take a stroll through my favorite town of Pine. I then headedup the neighborhood to get on the strawberry trail and then onto the grand opening of the two ravens trail. The group ride hadn't passed by yet so some very friendly volunteers let me duck the tape and have at it. Nice trail, pretty torn up in spot from elk and clay but nice addition!

Kidoo ride

He wanted to ride twisted sister so up we went. While descending he lsot control and I heard the terrible scream from my boy as he hit the dirt, I pulled over and ran up the trail and dusted him off and he was fine besides his ego and little blood.

Sonoran Tour

Still really nice out at Gold Canyo, mixed this one up by entering Peralta, it was actually really good trail, forgot about those out there!

Money

Almost didn't make that one, thank goodness cause that was a great one! Wish I didn't have to stop
