Flagstaff to Sedona MTB Trip with Hermosa Tours: Day 3 & 4
Because BABs Lacey and Rachel like to do hard things, we wanted to combine two days into one. We decided to bang out 50 miles to get to Sedona so we could get back on the road a bit early and add another day of mountain biking in Durango on the way home. Hindsight, we should have added an extra day in Sedona which we would highly recommend!
Day Three:
Most of the terrain is gentle in terms of elevation gain/loss, but a variety of soil conditions make for exciting riding. Sometimes you’ll be flowing along at high speed on soft tread, and other times you’ll be navigating over volcanic rock obstacles and climbing in your granny gear. It’s all fun, mostly rideable, and will leave you wanting more (which we most definitely added on). A short side trip down the Navajo Spring Trail leads to Mormon Lake Lodge, an oasis in the forest, where you can grab a slice of pizza or a cold beer before getting back on the trail and a short ride to Dairy Springs Campground. Ride length is about 19 miles. We hit this a little under 2 hours into the ride. Watch for trail angels leaving you water to refill under bridges off the AZT!
Day Four:
The final day starts very mellow across mainly rolling terrain on remote dirt roads. This signifies the transition from the “high country” portion of your ride and your entry into Sedona’s Red Rock Country. Be warned, there's a bit of hike a bike to avoid private property and we most definitely got a little lost. There's a super crappy, baby head road that sucks but is short by comparison. The goods are almost to come. By midday you will have reached the edge of the Mogollon Rim and be staring down Bear Hollow…also know as Schnebly Hill. From here you descend the Schnebly Hill Trail, cross Schnebly Hill Rd and then make your way all the way to the Huckaby Trailhead along the Munds Wagon Trail which is a nice reward for all the dirt road on the first half of the day. Ride length is about 25 miles.

12 Hours of Royal Gorge Mountain Bike Race 2022
Переглядів 7062 роки тому
We came, we got stomach aches, we conquered in the 11th hour...well technically the 12th hour. BABs Lacey and Rachel were joined by BABs (Bad Ass Bros) Chris and Kansas for a 4-person team in the Royal Gorge 6 & 12-hour race. We somehow managed to rip out 12 laps on the 10-mile course that had over 1,000 ft of gain per lap. That was enough to land us on the top step of the podium.

      @BABsOutside paragliding takes about a week to learn and get the basics. Both land the same but the flare is way slower with paragliding. We hike and fly Section 16 and mountain Herman. I can see with your biking you like to travel long distances. Paragliding it's quite common to fly a 100k. I flew from Monument Colorado to Golden not to long again. You'd definitely fit right in the sport.

    Me and a friend just did WRIAD CCW (Schafer climb last). Personally I found the road section from Schafer back to the lot one of the hardest sections. This time around I brought 4.5L of water with me, 3 on back, 1.5 in bottle cages, 7 Carbs gels (roughly 1per hour) and a handful of gummybears. We wrapped up the ride just under 8 hours and had about .5L left in one bottle. I think we lucked out with weather in low 60's and while climbing Schafer a cloud rolled in and sprinkled on us the whole way up. Was honestly quite nice. Anyways, we watched this video for beta before hand and wanted to say thanks!

You can hire separate guides if they don't have one required like Telluride and Ouray. Telluride is my favorite! Least favorite is probably A-Basin (which also happens to be the most expensive).

    I’ve been hiking in North Cheyenne Canyon since 1976 quite a few years ago I determined based upon the maps where smoky city mine Trail should be. When you go up pipeline, which is 668 you run into 701 which isForester’s Trail. If you then go north on Forsters the third stream that you come to is the stream where smoky city mine Trail hits 701. in the alternative you can go up 668 which is pipeline Trail and follow North Cheyenne Canyon Creek which means you get off the main trail and you follow the creek along the trail that will take you to 701. You will then be at the junction of 701 and Smoky city mine Trail. I’ve probably been to that spot seven or eight times in my life having hiked from the Powell parking lot above Helen Hunt Falls. I looked up the creek and for the life of me could not see a trail that I would construe to be a hiking trail. No one who I’ve spoken to among people who I’ve hiked with or people who I have seen on the trails has ever been on Smokey city mine Trail . My question to you young ladies is there a smoky city mine up there? Is there a mine at all that’s been closed is there a hole in the ground that was a mine? Why do they call it smoky city mine Trail? Do you have any idea as to What did they mine up there? Was it smoky quartz I wish you had stopped and videoed the mine. I assume there is a mind or what’s left of a mind. I have an arthritic knee for the last two years and to hike from Powell parking lot to the intersection of Smoky city mine Trail, and 701 and then return Will take all the energy out of me, especially since I would have to return I am sure going up that trail that you young ladies came down would be impossible for me to make the round-trip. I wish you had taken some photos with your GoPro or videos. If I were 10 years younger, I would try to do it, but I would have to get up awfully early in the morning. Being 78 1/2 years old that’s just not going to happen for me. If you find any other reference or know of any information about Smoky city mine please let me know because I’ve been searching for years, yours is the second video I’ve seen of people going down that trail. You’ve got some legs and some set of lungs. Keep it up.

      If you have a car to get through Lead King that was the worst part. It is most definitely loose so you have to be careful but you can climb some of the ridge. We did that half way up and all the way down to avoid that scree. There was one move that I would say was closer to Class 4 that was pretty exposed, but otherwise, it felt safer than the loose dirt.

    You mentioned a lot of issues with using your Go Pro, take a look at the Insta 360 One X2. This is what I will be using as it has voice commands for filming as well as 360 views, it's like having 10 cameras with you as you can choose in the easy editing software what angle to look at. Happy Trails!

    G'day from Australia, thanks for the video, I'll be there this year in 2022 and attempting WRT in one day on October the 5th and am a below-knee amputee. Good to see what I am in for and the tips with water and food, still not sure which way round yet. How's the weather at the start of October? Also, how was your bike comfort on the bike seat, did you wear a bib and brace with chamois and use any particular chafing creams? Thanks again for making this video.

      October is likely pleasant but the water will be low for sure if you do decide to filter. Everything hurt but we all wore chamois. None of used any cream but probably should have! Thanks for watching and glad it helped!

    Finally a great video on the parts that matter. Been on Challenger last two years but had no Go Pro. Didn't camp at Willow but, as you know, that Alpine lake was amazing and was a much needed resting area after the hike to get there. Thank you for this Video. Much appreciated!

      Hah yep! It’s easy for the lake to be the center of attention! Hope you sneak over to KC if you haven’t had a chance to do that yet.

    It may be that you edited out every time I screwed up.. but watching this I don't look nearly as uncoordinated as I felt!

    Yeesh, that looks like some rough terrain. Nice work.
