Thanksgiving Vay-kay
Yeah, so I didn't want to waste my precious time in Sedona blogging. I am not quitting, but yeah, lots of more important stuff. Anyway, I'm gonna give you the update on how it all went, but I don't want to take the time (over the 4 minute limit) to do it all at once, so I'll respond to myself as needed. I always do this anyway, so I'm not clear on why I explained it, but anyway done's done, let's move on.
As this is a bike site, we will cover that stuff first. Did some dirt biking. Not too much as that wasn't really the point of the trip. Anyway, it was the sweetness. Mom lives like a 5 minute ride from trailhead. Dirt biking is where it's at. I think I will do some races next year. There is the issue of a bike, but I borrowed this guy's for this trip, so I can probably find one to race on. Don't make the mistake of thinking I am a hater because you only see me at road races. If I was loaded, I'd rock road, 'cross, mtn. and BMX.
Anyway, I was rippin' trail in a foxxy manner, at least relative to my sucky technical level. Never ridden a full suspension bike, and it's pretty much a big difference. I just stopped avoiding anything in the trail and went over everything. Then, I went over the bars and had to pick some cactus out of myself. Slowed down after that. Got to ride with the Kelly one day for the first time in a year, which was nice. She is pretty funny because when she has to walk any section she's always like "if I rode everyday, you know I'd be killing this". Sounds like me. Only higher pitched.
Sedona is the bees knees for dirt biking. There are trails everywhere. The roads suck and I didn't take my road bike as it is a big tourist weekend and I didn't want to die.
