Riding in Sedona / Flagstaff



Some photos from my trip to Flagstaff / Sedona

It's been a pretty good trip to the southwest so far. Finally got to ride in Sedona, AZ for the first time. The riding is, as you could imagine and see from the pictures, truly epic. Pretty nice weather in the 70's too. Unfortunately , my front derailleur snapped in half within 2 minutes on the trail. I broke it off completely and just did the entire 4 hour ride without shifting up front, which surprisingly worked out fine. I also got a flat after hitting a cactus. It clearly wasn't my day.

I've been doing some random hikes and bike rides in Flagstaff. Today I went down to the Grand Canyon w/ Paul to hike it for the first time ever only to be kicked out after 45 minutes because we had a dog! It was really irritating because we were told dogs were fine as long as we had him on a leash. The rangers were just rude, which sort of spoiled the first half of today. Went to some pool hall after dinner though and made up for it.

Remember me?

Long time since I updated this, but that doesn't mean I haven't been riding! I finally got my old superlight built up again thanks to a new front triangle from Santa Cruz. They hooked me up really good.

I've been ripping Skeggs, Sedona AZ and Flagstaff. I'm about to head down to the Grand Canyon to do my first hike down the canyon. Lots of pictures from all these rides will be going up soon...
