With Francine retired from the ski school we were ready to go find sunshine. The plan was to spend a week in Park City, then drive down to Moab for another week, spend four days in Fruita/Grand Junction then work our way home with a stop in Draper Ut. and Boise, Id. With great lodging, good friends, and pefect weather it was the perfect roadtrip.<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhnYWlrKVI1QA4DY-wciWr4iyS5-ANM0HbCX6W9QXN-DPaa4N0HnmBc5dE7H5PaiEbkVf1VIa9ArQR53RRWIy59LKHOXIyZiPbxAX2aE0OIr5GYb9xDMC00FVyCdLh7OjHzm0gYO37dtRuMKuPwctWpVg1jTLTqlmt9AbOXLAGzm-S50WPzvu_2EwP_1A=s4096" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Fran & Kevin took Pat & Larry on a "Pool" tour of the complex. <div><br /></div><div>Then, after a leisurely morning, Francine made Kevin go out for a short ride. She had been wanting to hit chuckwagon, except that the first mile is now totally overrun with hikers making their way to "Devils Bridge". There are so many people wanting to get their selfie at the bridge, that I guess one can wait an hour or more for your turn. The parking lot fills up, and there is parking on both sides of the road for almost a mile. </div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cZBf3YaGar4/YIgYgKgzM3I/AAAAAAAAVcs/X9C8KpD7KQkr4MaNH56gNIIv7ymqgIuBQCNcBGAsYHQ/s557/Devils%2BBridge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="557" height="161" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cZBf3YaGar4/YIgYgKgzM3I/AAAAAAAAVcs/X9C8KpD7KQkr4MaNH56gNIIv7ymqgIuBQCNcBGAsYHQ/w224-h161/Devils%2BBridge.jpg" width="224" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">we did not go here, but here is a picture </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div><br /></div><div>So, we parked at the end of the almost 5 mile trail, rode in to the intersection where the hikers turn off to hike to the Devils Bridge trail and turned around.

Crossed the road to start Chuckwagon (originally called Gunslinger by the locals bikers who originally built the bootleg trail). Generally climbed the now very obvious trail about 3.3 miles.

Very smooth, but the shop folks that gave you your bike were not very friendly. This matches the reviews found online.</p><p>Lenny wanted a 20 mile ride where we rode uphill the entire time. We gave him a 17 mile ride. Those two killed it on the trails, especially since this was basically their first time on trails for the year.</p><p>Rode from the unit to Girdner to Lasso to Stirrup trail. (Did we say that we love riding from the unit?) Went right on Girdner to a quick left onto AZ Cypress and another left onto Dawa. Continued climbing to Cockscomb and more climbing to Aerie Upper. This section of Aerie Upper had a few rocks, and Lenny and his bike paid the price. His pedal hit a rock on the trail that bounced him. Oops - broken brake lever. Kevin switched bikes and we continued on.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8rLYYEUpUT4/YIXwA77aKdI/AAAAAAAAVXY/XJy0xDDYGuQZH2oUIOsF2H_TCDp8pcYZACPcBGAsYHg/s4096/IMG_20210425_110915830.jpg" style="margin-left: auto;

And the rain from Thursday night has made the trails firmer with more hard pack, with less dust. Kris said it was a great ride. I think Lenny would have appreciated less rocks and less exposure.

Kris/Len/Jim and Pat/Larry arrive this evening. Kris & Len will be renting some Ibis Ripley's to ride for 5 days. We need to ride a couple more new trails (black rating) that we will not be taking them on. We are looking at Bottom Out and Remnant, in two separate rides today.</p><p>First we hit Bottom Out to climb Axis to Bolo. Then we went left onto Last Frontier to Outer Limits. Had brief discussion about going out Cockscomb to Upper Aerie. Decided we didn't need to ride that far today. So descended on new trail Axis. It isn't actually new, but one of the user-built trails that the Forest Service officially adopted and added to the system. Axis was more like the narrow trails we remember. Super fun trail that descended to the "hole", and climbed Axis to the unit for lunch. 10 fun miles.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3u9PRj-YZ-A/YIV6HVpgDVI/AAAAAAAAVTg/H42CuM3WrhYS9c9IfFNpd94dN6H6c2CCwCPcBGAsYHg/s4096/IMG_20210423_104213921.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4096" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3u9PRj-YZ-A/YIV6HVpgDVI/AAAAAAAAVTg/H42CuM3WrhYS9c9IfFNpd94dN6H6c2CCwCPcBGAsYHg/s320/IMG_20210423_104213921.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Francine trusting Kevin that it rolled</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BhDP5u065qs/YIV6HdnRkTI/AAAAAAAAVTg/XWVXTXO1r5sVWfue1W4BtnHTxEajRTb0ACPcBGAsYHg/s4096/IMG_20210423_135947529.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4096" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BhDP5u065qs/YIV6HdnRkTI/AAAAAAAAVTg/XWVXTXO1r5sVWfue1W4BtnHTxEajRTb0ACPcBGAsYHg/s320/IMG_20210423_135947529.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Bottom Out</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Vo2x3w-mtSk/YIV6HaeXHxI/AAAAAAAAVTg/YqgDp3QgbZY6tZQrz7kYS0m9N1SsS3gegCPcBGAsYHg/s4096/IMG_20210423_140442513.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4096" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Vo2x3w-mtSk/YIV6HaeXHxI/AAAAAAAAVTg/YqgDp3QgbZY6tZQrz7kYS0m9N1SsS3gegCPcBGAsYHg/s320/IMG_20210423_140442513.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Bottom Out</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5CCyYhlVjn0/YIV6HY1VsBI/AAAAAAAAVTg/HLiLTv8xJ6o7wGnEOqefu9e_U5h44iZqgCPcBGAsYHg/s4096/IMG_20210423_140433932.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4096" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5CCyYhlVjn0/YIV6HY1VsBI/AAAAAAAAVTg/HLiLTv8xJ6o7wGnEOqefu9e_U5h44iZqgCPcBGAsYHg/s320/IMG_20210423_140433932.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">more Bottom Out</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cwXiPcugm6k/YIV6HS1LqoI/AAAAAAAAVTg/pMCb54J29oI9OFJfaTFRk0czq3SRK817QCPcBGAsYHg/s4096/IMG_20210423_140437385.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4096" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cwXiPcugm6k/YIV6HS1LqoI/AAAAAAAAVTg/pMCb54J29oI9OFJfaTFRk0czq3SRK817QCPcBGAsYHg/s320/IMG_20210423_140437385.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FQAXZgV65Ys/YIV6HeBtQnI/AAAAAAAAVTg/tR8BxIEiyr4mPfeQpxHWVKtJ5YOnRqjgACPcBGAsYHg/s4096/IMG_20210423_140445546.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4096" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FQAXZgV65Ys/YIV6HeBtQnI/AAAAAAAAVTg/tR8BxIEiyr4mPfeQpxHWVKtJ5YOnRqjgACPcBGAsYHg/s320/IMG_20210423_140445546.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">smooth section of Bottom Out</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3ZalOh1w2Ww/YIV4WPNfVII/AAAAAAAAVTQ/112j-PiWnEAzIOa9SoKotDcd7Iyw7TDQgCNcBGAsYHQ/image.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /><img alt="" data-original-height="619" data-original-width="757" height="240" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3ZalOh1w2Ww/YIV4WPNfVII/AAAAAAAAVTQ/112j-PiWnEAzIOa9SoKotDcd7Iyw7TDQgCNcBGAsYHQ/image.png" width="294" /></a></div><br />After a lunch break, went out for another short loop.

The went left on Baldwin to Templeton, to Slim Shady. Went right onto Highline, to start climbing. Highline is definitely seeing much more use, and much of the vegetation on the side of the trail is gone, creating more exposure. Kevin thought the trail was in great shape. Francine missed the trees/plants on the right side of the trail, which give a false sense of safety.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Teacup & Adante were quite wide from hikers and dusty. Only climbed 388feet for an 833 descent over 5.5 miles.</p><p>Went home for lunch. Kevin took a nap, and Francine walked the trails that go around the north end of the resort. Crossed the fence, and made it to the Cultural Center and then home.</p><p>Next was Kevin, who planned a more ambitious ride with more climbing.</p><p>Rode the bike across the street, next to the high school. With Francine picking me up at the valley bottom, I maximized my ride and rode out the ridge on Skywalker. Trails were in great shape and only ran into a couple hikers during the five mile ride. Feel so lucky to have this quality riding across the street. Trails were mix of smooth with some technical rock sections and some good steep downhills. Rode: Skywalker, Old Post, Carrol Canyon, Ridge Trail to the Crescent Moon Picnic Site. 5 miles.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kBYynPxkHi0/YIDtXuHi1zI/AAAAAAAAVGQ/hVdEol8Ds80mR6TS7RMCIal7l67R9nCTwCPcBGAsYHg/s4096/IMG_20210421_161358482.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4096" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kBYynPxkHi0/YIDtXuHi1zI/AAAAAAAAVGQ/hVdEol8Ds80mR6TS7RMCIal7l67R9nCTwCPcBGAsYHg/s320/IMG_20210421_161358482.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oTKerM33CLI/YIDtXodt0JI/AAAAAAAAVGQ/-aGUMfOsrJQA0qZWtBAKsCtuOmnj-g_TwCPcBGAsYHg/s4096/IMG_20210421_161204700.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4096" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oTKerM33CLI/YIDtXodt0JI/AAAAAAAAVGQ/-aGUMfOsrJQA0qZWtBAKsCtuOmnj-g_TwCPcBGAsYHg/s320/IMG_20210421_161204700.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-I8ir6SzwuJA/YIDtXkCvmaI/AAAAAAAAVGQ/FYI0a75M7L4t6w1aoa3SF01OEdsMCXiUACPcBGAsYHg/s4096/IMG_20210421_161131832.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4096" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-I8ir6SzwuJA/YIDtXkCvmaI/AAAAAAAAVGQ/FYI0a75M7L4t6w1aoa3SF01OEdsMCXiUACPcBGAsYHg/s320/IMG_20210421_161131832.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Xu4iSAKA0_E/YIDt9Z2Yq9I/AAAAAAAAVGk/MIAg75v3YLEeSnfPLMH-6bagWxf51IDEQCNcBGAsYHQ/s1040/shuttle5.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /><img border="0" data-original-height="458" data-original-width="1040" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Xu4iSAKA0_E/YIDt9Z2Yq9I/AAAAAAAAVGk/MIAg75v3YLEeSnfPLMH-6bagWxf51IDEQCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/shuttle5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />Kevinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11954496733883588929noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688612684212281049.post-25655538770573777752021-04-21T09:03:00.000-07:002021-04-21T09:03:33.243-07:00Sedona - April 20 drive to Flagstaff<p>We wanted to make sure we got a ride in up in Flagstaff on this trip. We weren't sure we would have time once Pat & Larry, and Kris/Len/Jim arrive. Plus today was the hottest day of the week, at 80 degrees in Sedona. We usually go near the end of our 2 weeks in Sedona, as even though all the rocks in Sedona are great, we do look forward to more "dirt" riding that we find in Flagstaff.</p><p>Only 67 degrees for a high in Flagstaff. 7,150 elevation at the parking lot. We are riding at the Fort Valley Trail System, at Mt. Elden. This area had a severe fire in 2020. Combine that with the thinning project in the area, the once smooth and shaded trails are now sun exposed, and much drier.</p><p>We rode up Schultz Creek to a left onto Chimney Trail to Lower Moto to Twisted Sister to Secret trail to its end at the upper Schultz Creek trailhead at Schultz tank at 11miles (8,000 ft). Umph - our legs are tired, and that is a lot of climbing. We reached just over 8,400 feet twice, on Secret trail . Did we say all these trails were quite dry.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8xcWFVrZc_Q/YH-eNYVSTRI/AAAAAAAAVAs/W5KrB7iZmJ8VF5lg_g5FrFqNMsxvjZsXgCPcBGAsYHg/s4096/IMG_20210420_131743135.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4096" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8xcWFVrZc_Q/YH-eNYVSTRI/AAAAAAAAVAs/W5KrB7iZmJ8VF5lg_g5FrFqNMsxvjZsXgCPcBGAsYHg/s320/IMG_20210420_131743135.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Kevin taking a break on Secret trail</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pKOfijoJxcY/YH-eNamqrwI/AAAAAAAAVAs/KfdMTK4zvS4-PJWyrZzLr2LHBjrsBnSyACPcBGAsYHg/s4096/IMG_20210420_131545257.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4096" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pKOfijoJxcY/YH-eNamqrwI/AAAAAAAAVAs/KfdMTK4zvS4-PJWyrZzLr2LHBjrsBnSyACPcBGAsYHg/s320/IMG_20210420_131545257.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Fran finding shade on Secret trail</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--9DvnEgnRNc/YH-eNevXwjI/AAAAAAAAVAs/hrMrfEwT3W8NCsoBXtdHhDpxXGM_C_VEgCPcBGAsYHg/s4096/IMG_20210420_131554001.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4096" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--9DvnEgnRNc/YH-eNevXwjI/AAAAAAAAVAs/hrMrfEwT3W8NCsoBXtdHhDpxXGM_C_VEgCPcBGAsYHg/s320/IMG_20210420_131554001.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Fran's bike</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p><br /></p><p>From here, we started climbing again.

We wanted to change things up and drive to our ride towards the village of Oak Creek. Leaving at the crack of 10am, meant parking lots could be full. Our first, small parking lot was full. Of course, so we drove south to the next lot at Yavapi Point. Here we found a spot, right next to the Hermit trail. Cars were flying in and out of this parking lot. We were wondering if we made a mistake to drive to this part of town to ride. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">Descended Hermit to go under the 179 Highway going right onto Templeton. Climbed this to Baby Bell Option to Baby Bell Overlook trail to Llama trail. We only saw a few hikers. Things looking good so far. The good thing about the Llama trail, is it is on the edge of the Wilderness, and 3 hikers we saw, went on the hiker only trail to the Wilderness. We climbed Llama trail, seeing basically nobody. The other times we did Llama, we rode in the opposite direction. This made a great route to Little Horse trail, where we went right to another right onto Broken Arrow, to climb to Chicken Point. Up here the Pink Jeep tours stop and let out their guests.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_mwp6eAZtfA/YH-Y1hsB-8I/AAAAAAAAVAU/N5AbOekaQ7ISMj2d0yZHuSetYyprtdQEQCPcBGAsYHg/s4096/IMG_20210419_112020931.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4096" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_mwp6eAZtfA/YH-Y1hsB-8I/AAAAAAAAVAU/N5AbOekaQ7ISMj2d0yZHuSetYyprtdQEQCPcBGAsYHg/s320/IMG_20210419_112020931.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Kevin on Llama trail</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--DVCW7IX9WA/YH-Y1t2l3aI/AAAAAAAAVAU/U51vnORhs-EoCKNDPwx5jOuWFxAQS8H2ACPcBGAsYHg/s4096/IMG_20210419_112028270.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4096" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--DVCW7IX9WA/YH-Y1t2l3aI/AAAAAAAAVAU/U51vnORhs-EoCKNDPwx5jOuWFxAQS8H2ACPcBGAsYHg/s320/IMG_20210419_112028270.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Kevin on Llama trail</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G_zJaNdiWwk/YH-Y-lU3COI/AAAAAAAAVAY/hS_0GI9SFhAF8E2-7RAjK4lHXHBSJl-PACPcBGAsYHg/s4096/IMG_20210419_115655137.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4096" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G_zJaNdiWwk/YH-Y-lU3COI/AAAAAAAAVAY/hS_0GI9SFhAF8E2-7RAjK4lHXHBSJl-PACPcBGAsYHg/s320/IMG_20210419_115655137.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Francine resting at Chicken Point, at top of Broken Arrow trail.

Most the trails out in the Dry Creek area (where we have been riding for 2 days), were originally narrow, user built. In the last few years, the Forest Service has been improving the entire area, making maps & signage, adopting user-built trails, building new trails, and trying to obliterate some user-built trails. Overall it is a great improvement, but we surely prefer the narrow, raw, user-built locals trails. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yC13sKn57tQ/YH71EGwIXjI/AAAAAAAAU-8/YvZ0cXfUI_wqxBHmIhGfFkgQlPS60cPugCPcBGAsYHg/s4096/IMG_20210418_125341913.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4096" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yC13sKn57tQ/YH71EGwIXjI/AAAAAAAAU-8/YvZ0cXfUI_wqxBHmIhGfFkgQlPS60cPugCPcBGAsYHg/s320/IMG_20210418_125341913.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">non-system trail off Cockscomb - at top with Big Rusty Can</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nMtu86bmMyA/YH71ELdsFBI/AAAAAAAAU-8/Ug6SyPaNb1Uzassym6fFSUGVk5gY1vEZQCPcBGAsYHg/s4096/IMG_20210418_125447983.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4096" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nMtu86bmMyA/YH71ELdsFBI/AAAAAAAAU-8/Ug6SyPaNb1Uzassym6fFSUGVk5gY1vEZQCPcBGAsYHg/s320/IMG_20210418_125447983.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Frog wildwife at top of locals rusty can?? trail</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lgPlGhx3oYI/YH71EAk8BuI/AAAAAAAAU-8/5DuEjAtrx1ACv_RgzTAho0MN-1_0whttgCPcBGAsYHg/s4096/IMG_20210418_142215240.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4096" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lgPlGhx3oYI/YH71EAk8BuI/AAAAAAAAU-8/5DuEjAtrx1ACv_RgzTAho0MN-1_0whttgCPcBGAsYHg/s320/IMG_20210418_142215240.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Francine on non-system, locals user built trail</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zweF7SPcmjA/YH71EAXnx8I/AAAAAAAAU-8/qEYXfQRqDas_ic0UeATlX7qpbAfcvibegCPcBGAsYHg/s4096/IMG_20210418_142226846.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4096" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zweF7SPcmjA/YH71EAXnx8I/AAAAAAAAU-8/qEYXfQRqDas_ic0UeATlX7qpbAfcvibegCPcBGAsYHg/s320/IMG_20210418_142226846.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>We seemed to be on Rusty Can trail, as quite often, we rode by rusty soup cans hung in the Juniper bushes. The trail dropped down into a wash, and here we lost the trail. We didn't notice a left, climbing out of the wash, and continued down the wash until we hit a trail. Not too much fun to ride thru the rocky, sandy wash.</p><p>Popped out on Dawa, went right. Then a slight left onto "Dawa to AZ", and another right onto Cockscomb. Being gluttens for punishment, we shortly went left onto another non-system trail. Went left and took another left, when we should have gone right. Climbed a short hill, and descended then climbed to Dawa to AZ, instead of coming out on Rupp. Oops - did a little backtracking.</p><p>Here we descended to AZ Cypress, and we split ways. Kevin took the basically flat "AZ Cypress Alternate" with barely a climb to the Girdner intersection. He sent Francine around on AZ Cypress to climb and descend. Then she continued to climb and descend a couple more times on Girdner, before they met up. Needless to say, she was NOT happy when he called her to find out why she wasn't at the intersection yet. She was still climbing and unnecessarily descending.</p><p>After meeting back up, we continued climbing on Girdner to the intersection of Stirrup. Continuing up on Stirrup, means you avoid the descent to the hole (intersection of Girdner, Bolo, Axis & Bottom Out). Retraced our steps and went right on Lasso and left to climb Stirrup to Girdner and to the top, at the Cultural Center.</p><p>Great Ride. Again, empty trails for a Sunday. 18.8 miles for Francine. 18.3 for Kevin.

Again, thanks to Pat & Larry's timeshare access, we are at Sedona Summit in a 2 bedroom, at the quiet, west end of town, where we can ride from the unit to great biking trails. Sedona didn't seem to have a quiet time before Covid hit. Now it is even more packed, and the hikers are finding the mountain bike trails. We have heard rumors of trails so crowded, that you are basically stopping so often, that you aren't really riding your bike, especially this March during spring break.</p><p>We arrived yesterday on Friday. The trailhead area just walking distance from the resort is called The Western Gateway (Cultural Center) a part of the Dry Creek area, and the forest Service has spent the last few years building new trails, re-routing old trails, adopting user built, non-system trails, closing user built trails, and installing great signage. And all of it has been a great improvement. Much to our surprise, the parking lot was quite empty for a Saturday at 10am. Today's ride was only 12.3 miles, but fun.</p><p>We started out descending on Stirrup, which is a user built trail that they adopted, formerly called "Plumbers Crack" which we guess was not a PC name. The other main North-South trail, "Girdner" has numerous re-routes that keep it out of the washes to make a better ride. After Girdner, we headed left on AZ Cypress to another left to climb on Cockscomb, staying right at the Axis intersection, so we could climb to the new trail, Ground Control. Kevin surely enjoyed this trail, but Francine found Ground Control (black trail) a little too technical for her liking, walking much of the descent. Next time, she will just go around on Outer Limits.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pH9MJHsDPXg/YH7xh6fCKgI/AAAAAAAAU-k/gG0ZovxYkLon8tw2sczk_Q2FfsK4tH1tgCPcBGAsYHg/s4096/IMG_20210417_123137917.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4096" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pH9MJHsDPXg/YH7xh6fCKgI/AAAAAAAAU-k/gG0ZovxYkLon8tw2sczk_Q2FfsK4tH1tgCPcBGAsYHg/s320/IMG_20210417_123137917.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Francine walking and taking in the views west on Ground Control</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ewaysTypp1E/YH7xh43T82I/AAAAAAAAU-k/fuZILRI8SQEstwRPeZ6D_CcGB1bFYvmQQCPcBGAsYHg/s4096/IMG_20210417_123414597.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4096" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ewaysTypp1E/YH7xh43T82I/AAAAAAAAU-k/fuZILRI8SQEstwRPeZ6D_CcGB1bFYvmQQCPcBGAsYHg/s320/IMG_20210417_123414597.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ground Control trail -- newly built Black rated</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-K1Y_R4UDa-M/YH7xhytgqBI/AAAAAAAAU-k/mBt6EyYBtoQaNPxotwzLdFhOWWXDKspAQCPcBGAsYHg/s4096/IMG_20210417_122953897.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4096" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-K1Y_R4UDa-M/YH7xhytgqBI/AAAAAAAAU-k/mBt6EyYBtoQaNPxotwzLdFhOWWXDKspAQCPcBGAsYHg/s320/IMG_20210417_122953897.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Side hilling on Ground Control</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B6gENaOgJM0/YH7xh3FGNQI/AAAAAAAAU-k/vCHQMTlzNkUoFDLldCV4lzkjoEaXIOrhACPcBGAsYHg/s4096/IMG_20210417_122911610.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4096" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B6gENaOgJM0/YH7xh3FGNQI/AAAAAAAAU-k/vCHQMTlzNkUoFDLldCV4lzkjoEaXIOrhACPcBGAsYHg/s320/IMG_20210417_122911610.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">more Ground Control</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p><br /></p><p>Continued on Outer Limits for a brief stint, went left onto Last Frontier and left on Bolo, to descend to the hole at the wash at the intersection of Girdner, Axis, Bottom Out and Bolo. We always dreaded the climb on Girdner up to the Cultural Center from the unavoidable hole, but the newly constructed trail, Axis, had a nice grade for the 1 mile climb of about 200 feet. We will have to see if Girdner has been rerouted.</p><p>Much to our surprise, we saw very few people. We weren't sure where they were, as the parking lot in Boynton Canyon was full as we rode thru it. Trails were in great shape. We have been here when they are dustier and sandier. They are getting wider, though. We miss the narrow, singletrack, that we used to find out in this trail system in the Dry Creek area. Looking forward to a great 2 weeks. On Friday, 4/23, Kristin, Lenny, Jimmy and Pat & Larry arrive for a week. We need to tire ourselves out on the bikes this week, so we can spend time with family.</p>Kevinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11954496733883588929noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688612684212281049.post-41813297300310486582021-01-10T18:27:00.001-08:002021-01-10T18:27:23.354-08:00Jan 9/10 Mt.

Our 7am start was just late enough that a group of four had already broken trail up Snoqualmie Mountain. We caught them as they prepared to drop into the slot couloir. While waiting for our turn at the slot, we went ahead and tagged the summit of Snoqualmie. Our lap into the slot was slightly frightful as the rain crust was quite strong. One might even call it ice. We scratched our turns into the couloir with great care to maintain good edge control with our skis. It was about this time I noticed my new volkl blaze skis have quite a bit of sidecut. Anyhow we survived the firm top and enjoyed a little bit better turns on the apron. After climbing back to the frontside, we headed up valley looking for alternative descents.

Now that the lifts are turning, it usually takes a little more motivation to self propel myself up the mountains. I had been waiting for a break in the weather, and today was the day. Despite a short warmup the evening before, we got blessed with fresh powder. After a brief evening rain, the temperature dropped rapidly. It even sprinkled snow on Seattle. Up here we had between five and ten inches. Lower slopes had a thin crust layer below the fresh snow. The higher slopes had enough snow to keep ski turns above the crust layer. Hooked up with Greg for our first real tour together this year. We were both shocked that, although we started at 10:45, the upper basin had zero tracks. Makes the uphill that much better when you get to set the perfect skin track. Turns were good. </p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xfCoKk5vt7c/X-Kc1kGHReI/AAAAAAAAUAM/hb3REdmg3VgnxJGqqVXPFpOPcyDwYyW5gCNcBGAsYHQ/s2172/IMG_1619.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto;

We flew direct to Cabo then rented a car from Cactus car rental for $35 bucks a day. The drive north on highway 1 was quite scenic as it wound over a couple of mountain passes and across some large dry river deltas. After about two hours we made it to the quaint town of La Ventana. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wc0HAoqaZeY/X7xhh8uRnaI/AAAAAAAATwg/TzYRmhNciQc9AvFu-sZhnxZNyQ2KCmh8ACNcBGAsYHQ/s4000/IMG_1509.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FoOjQ9Rkzh4/X7xhiX5f7yI/AAAAAAAATwk/baa__mIbmwMKjAFvhkSKHwSiuhYeNDDVwCNcBGAsYHQ/s4000/IMG_1510.JPG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="150" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FoOjQ9Rkzh4/X7xhiX5f7yI/AAAAAAAATwk/baa__mIbmwMKjAFvhkSKHwSiuhYeNDDVwCNcBGAsYHQ/w200-h150/IMG_1510.JPG" width="200" /></a><br /></div><p> It is small town centered on the one paved road that runs through town. All the other roads in town were dirt, and the pavement ended before the little village of El Sargento. Our turnoff was on the south end of La Ventana. Wyatt Miller, the owner of Pro-Windsports, had sent us several pictures so we could find his unmarked compound. You know, turn right just past the desalination plant, drive down dirt road to end of a wall,turn right, look for yellow gate. Apparently being discreet has some advantages. Wyatt tends to a small complex of casitas, that on a busy winter season could hold up to twenty people. We were some of the first people to arrive for the start of the season. The windy season is typically from mid November through April. Being some of the first guests of the season, we got to enjoy a very quiet beach and town. While we were at Pro-windsurf, we met George and Judy from Hood River, Susan from Santa Cruz, another couple for a couple of nights, and Dave on our last day. That was it. Pretty quiet. The staff made up for the lack of guests as they hauled more and more gear to the beach to prepare for the season. Staff was a fun crew, Phillipe from British Columbia, Andre from Quebec, Kale an 18 year old from Michigan, who talked Wyatt into taking him on as an intern, since college was pretty much on hold with coronavirus. Then lastly Juliano and his 12 year old son Julianocito. Juliano had apparently learned how to windsurf from Wyatt when he was 14 as part of a local windsurfing program. He kept sailing and now he and his son work for Wyatt, work for a couple hours, do some windsurfing or windfoiling then time for a few beers. Not too bad a job.</p><p>When we arrived, we promptly ran into Wyatt and his girlfriend Zyra who were chatting to the only other guests, George and Judy. Wyatt quickly offered fresh margaritas made with El Corazon tequila, Cointreau, and two fresh squeezed limes served over ice. He showed off the common open air building with kitchen, bar, dining, and hangout area. Apparently any alcohol was free and the fridge was well stocked with Pacifico beer and bags of limes. This seemed to be a perk the staff enjoyed as well. We quickly became aqquainted with the staff favorite "Baja Fog". Apparently when doing trips down the baja peninsula it is hard to bring enough beer. The solution is float a shot of tequila with fresh squeezed lime on top of the beer in the neck of the beer bottle. Got to say the margaritas and beers were quite tasty.</p><p>We started off the vacation by renting two full suspension mountain bikes for five days. The wind does not typically start until noon or one, so mountain biking was the morning activity followed by an afternoon of windsurfing or windfoiling. Since Francine doesn't sail she enjoyed sitting on the beach with a good book. After four days of biking and sailing, I called uncle and just sailed, while Francine did one last ride. The place also had a fleet of quads (atvs) , paddle boards, and 3 Nissan Suvs to get around. We got the quads out one morning, and the paddleboards another. The mountain biking was split into two areas. One was just out our back door to the South with minimal elevation gain, but fun ups and downs winding through the cactus. The other area was about ten minutes north above El Sargento. This area had quite a bit of climbing, with some rides gaining over 1,800 feet. Really fun riding tended to to by a Vancover BC transplant, Warren. We ran into Warren digging trail and chatted with him for a bit. Apparently he takes donations and hires local mexicans to do trail work. He said he can usually do four hours of work before running out of water. Thanks Warren, your trail network is pretty amazing. Anyhow this was a pretty amazing vacation, and a great place to be with all this coronavirus crap going on.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Pesos were 20 - 1, so a good steak was like 14 bucks. We had dinner at Marlin Azul several times. This place was pretty darn good. Did Los Playas for steaks just once. Supposedly their filet mignon is off the hook, but we ordered ribeye that was tough and heavily charred. Dinner for two drinks and appeteizers and tip about 600 pesos or $30. We did barbeque a couple nights at our house, and then did the cheap taco stand that Pro-Windsurf liked Taquria "dona Paty". The kind of place we would not normally stop at. Super friendly family run with good food. We did take out both times. Tacos were 30 peso which would be a 1.50. Also tried their enchiladas. Definitely recommend for a quick cheap option. Probaly should have checked out Marisco's for seafood.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh Yeah, went to the Bay of Dreams for snorkeling. Bit of a drive and fairly rocky. Restaurant looked super nice, but we drove home and had peanut butter and jelly sandwich. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-chDzprc0xJc/X7yQDyq0YSI/AAAAAAAAT04/H8F8LrtFQxQ4quHhxChHYEy1YCpUI1bvgCPcBGAsYHg/s4096/IMG_20201117_110422014_HDR.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4096" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-chDzprc0xJc/X7yQDyq0YSI/AAAAAAAAT04/H8F8LrtFQxQ4quHhxChHYEy1YCpUI1bvgCPcBGAsYHg/s320/IMG_20201117_110422014_HDR.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>That's it.

Had to walk on dirt to base of Lower International, then booted Lower I as well. Toured out to Pineapple Pass. On descent managed to stay on snow back to the water tower but it was sporty. Then that afternoon I hooked up with Kelly and Hillary to ski Silver Peak basin.<br />
