April 22, Sedona Girdner, non-system trails, Western Civilization

Cruising on Western Civilization trail
Pretty quiet around the condo.  We had a great time with the Davies and Sumners.   It's just Francine and I until friday.   Francine still hacking but we got out for a eleven mile ride from the condo.  1400 feet elevation gain/loss.  Getting warmer this week, but still not too hot.

Cruising on non-system trails south of Rupp Trail



Final climb home on Girdner


Started at the Cultural Center, about 1 minute ride from the condo, and rode out Girdner and turned left to descent on Western Frontier, taking a right to start climbing on Western Civilization.  Here we rode local, non-system trails, as indicated in yellow on the map, for a couple miles.  Rode those trails to the intersection with Rupp Trail.  Went left, and left onto Cockscomb.  And left again at an unmarked intersection onto Western Civilization trail for a couple miles, to the intersection with Western Frontier.  Western Civilization is an all-out cruise downhill swooping in and out of  the rises.  At Western Frontier, we retraced our steps on the stick portion of the lollipop loop.  11 miles.
