RR: Red Rock Paradise 23-Nov-2007
Is the riding in Sedona awesome, you ask? Oh yeah it is! Dan (Man blong Gaua) and I arrived in Sedona with our friends Kim and Lisa from Phoenix. The air was cold (temps started in the low 40s) but it warmed up quickly and the weather ended up being beautiful.
The loop was Baldwin - Templeton - Buddah Beach - Cathedral Rock - Broken Arrow - Submarine Rock - Chicken Point - Llama Trail - Bell. The trails provided a sampling of the best of Sedona...technical climbs and descents, smooth singletrack and fun slickrock. We all rode strong and the group was impressive, cleaning lots of tough sections and powering up the climbs. We met up with our friends Will and his sister Tiffany (from San Diego) and rode with them from Chicken Point on down. On the way down from Chicken Point I saw a green and gray jersey in the distance...yes, it was  ! Lee and his girlfriend were also there and we stopped to chat for a few minutes. We were heading down and they were going up, so we parted ways. The scenery was awesome and the day was a blast. I don't have a ride mileage, but were were out for about 5 hours. Ride time was approx. 3:45. Enjoy the pictures  Sedona sunrise...a great way to start the day  redrock preview  ready for some all mountain lovin...  sdyeti on Baldwin, Cathedral rock in the background  Lisa & Kim, Buddha Beach  Dan (Man blong Gaua) with the action dismount  Kim on one of Templeton's climbs  Dan making it look easy  Lisa and Kim, Templeton  "Yep, I see a freeride line up there"--Dan  Kim & Dan, Templeton slickrock  paparazzi through the trees...Dan on Templeton  going up?

Yes, they can be quite the rippers! Actually, Dan had just met up with his friend Will and they were doing their boy thing!
Sorry we couldn't make the ride work, but at least we know that STR/The Path was out there representing  Quote:
