For Day 2 in Sedona we had a hookup for a locals tour of some awesome off the map trails in West Sedona. Like Barcy, our tourguide was also a local named John. He had no clue who Barcy was however, even after we mentioned the singlespeed, the oakleys, and the newlywed thing. So apparently Barcy's new friend might be "just another internet hookup". Sorry, bud...
Of course it could also have been a different person entirely but we thought this was amusing nonetheless. We were joined by Paul, Chris, and Kevin from the bay area - another internet hookup.We started at John's friends house which is conveniently located near the outlet of several trails
The views were as usual nothing to complain about
A bit of climbing to begin with as we meander across and around a big rock formation
Nice view looking north
We encounter this tree following the trail up a wash
406 weaving
Doug cleans the double ledge first try
406 had no trouble with big wheels
Cool double rock roll
Gman on a chunky steep
My turn....pic courtesy Gman
Back into a rocky wash
Apparently this is how they roll in Montana (pic courtesy Gman)
Onto a little used connector to Mesgal. It was little used with sections of chunk connected by steep slickrock climbs
Awwwww.........
These scattered rocks seemed completely out of place
Chris goes round the bowl
406 and Paul cross a dry waterfall
On to mesgal
Paul dropping onto a ledge
406 and Gman ride ahead
A lot of ledges on Mesgal. This is an excellent trail, very fun
After some climbing we get to descend back down briefly
Paul likes the trail. Barcy, you'll be interested to know that Paul is the one responsible for getting Henry Coe park near Santa Cruz added as an IMBA epic. He can show us the goods if we ever get back up there...
Gman does some more climbing
I climb a tough slickrock section (pic courtesy Gman)
Round the rock
Paul drops into a cool rock roll
Gman takes a turn
406 dropping
Me next
Paul enters a double roll shortly after
406 in Canyon of Fools, a cool section down a narrow wash
Gman takes a corner
I love the contrast here
Riding back to the road
In addition to being completely new dirt for me, the majority of trail we rode today is not on any map that I've seen. I'll call that a definite score. A good day of riding, and fun trails. Good times....
To bad my garmin lost this file.
