Fundowns

Kiddo hieroglyphic trail

Enjoyed us a nice hike in Gold Canyon, done this one before but had my boy with me on this one, really nice stretch of weather is coming to an end, but cherishing it!

Sundown

Opportunity presented itself and had me a double, evening rides always reminds me how much more energy I have in the late hours

Fully

Just a few nice days left, this was one of them.

Windy fart cave

Now that hiking is priority Monday and Friday I finally ogt us up to the wave cave. The hike was fine and wave not much of a cave but good trip with my boy!

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.
