Back From My Southwest Road Trip

Mountain Bikers, Friends, Countrymen... Hear me and rejoice! I've returned from my travels with tales to tell...

To start, my road trip was a much needed venture into and onto trails and places I haven't ventured in a while. These mysterious areas are Flagstaff, AZ; Sedona, AZ and Gallup, NM. I needed to break away to refocus my MTB tires and mind on the trails. It was a wonderful time to get out and just KILL IT!

As I recollect on the week's adventures, I’m reminded of my 7th year of
life. It was then that I realized my dream: ride, climb, run and, just,
BE OUTDOORS IN THE WEST! Guess what folks? I’m living my dream. I’ve
reached the pinnacle of what I want out of life; so that means everyday
is the best day of my life! What does the next man got on me? Nothing!
I’ve met the rich, lottery winners, but I don’t see accomplishment, I
see boredom; and they know it. OK, enough of the bragging and on to the
adventure…

Each day started with a blueberry and cream cheese
coffee cake from Macy’s in Flagstaff, AZ. If you haven’t been there,
go. You’ll see why Flagstaff is one of the most eclectic towns on
earth. After three cups of Macy’s coffee, again, daily, I would rally to
where my ride(s) would begin. Whether the Sunset trail loop, which starts on
forest roads and ends up on the top of Schultz pass or a hike up Humphrey’s
Peak and then a trip to Sedona, I did it all...
