Ah, Sedona life

Yesterday I bared my legs wearing shorts after my ride: 75 degrees; blue cloudless skies, dry trails, oh well.

I keep knibbling on this visits’ unridden trails. Yesterday I added Last Frontier to the mix connecting to Western Civ and finishing on Girdner climb out. The ride was 11 miles in 1 hr 35 mins, of that time 1:01 was anaerobic which at the conclusion left me drained. The Pike fork continues to reward and satisfy me w/ its performance; its travel is 150 mm (5.9″) and it gives me all but 1/4″ w/o bottoming out. The stiffer legs allow me to more aggressively steer, that coupled to a worn Minion tire keeps the front end going where I want it to go.

I drove back down to Bike and Bean in Village of Oak Creek (VOC) for socialization. It’s all about chore avoidance.

Wed I helped on a trail reroute project w/ VVCC and the FS. The reroute eliminated an unsustainable portion of Hog Heaven dirt switchbacks.

I left b4 the project was completed for my PT session. Paige, the PT, is continually amazed @ how much I am improving. I keep asking her questions about recovery and any damage I might be causing. There is no impingement in the joint. My range of motion is super. I am 21 weeks out from surgery repair.

Wed night I attended the monthly Verde Valley Cycling Coalition (VVCC) meeting. Lars is the president. Just  5 of the board members attended, no club members even though it was an open meeting. Ah, the joys of a club. Common issue is lack of membership participation, just a few do the heavy lifting for the masses. Sedona is a world class riding destination where just a few people work on the trails for the benefit of all riders. I contribute every chance I get to pay back.

Last night I watched the Zags down here @ PJs then slept in the parking lot @ BnB.

Today I am riding on the shop ride, my first.
