A little more riding





The past couple days saw some riding of great trails with my good friend David who was visiting from Tucson. He was escaping the heat for a few days before he starts nursing school at U of A. We went out to the Campbell Mesa area the afternoon that he got here to break him into the elevation and get a quick ride in before the sun went down. The next day we drove up to the Sunset trailhead with Anne and Yampa. Anne was taking the dog with her for a run and we just hitched a ride. We rode up the first part of Sunset and then turned around and headed up the Weatherford trail then down a rocky old road that connected to the pipeline and then we headed down Lower Moto and back around to Buffalo Park and home. Today we went out to the AZ Trail and rode out to Fisher Point. The wildflowers were going off the whole way out to Fisher Point and the scenery was amazing. I attached some photos of David at the Sunset trailhead with the 2 Turners (his Burner is my old steed), a photo of my bottle after it popped out on Sunset and rolled down into the only water in the drainage and settled smack dab in the middle, a photo of David's bike on the Weatherford Trail, and a flower photo. More good news is that my Coconino 29er is almost built. You can check out the progress at coconinocycles.com and then head to the blog. It should be all brazed, defluxed, and polished so it can go to paint by early next week.
