Sprinkles on Sedona on Sunday

Forecast for today was for wet. Drove into MBH for 10:00 ride to learn that starting time moved to 11:00. yesterday i copied pieces of Sedona ride maps to Thumb drive for copying. Used extra time to print @ Staples. Came out OK but many pieces had to be cut & pasted for full coverage.

Back @ MBH usuals started arriving, all clad in some kind of suitable rain gear except Tim wore cotton sweat pants & like tall LL Bean shoe pacs. He left early b4 his full wetness was known. 2 riders did lay down immersions in their separate creeks. Washes had flow again. Dirt was traction tacky. Started out in rain gear but at several early stops stuff got peeled off. Group is accepting me as a non new person.

From yesterday’s trail day shortened by rain harder and more plentiful to dig in dirt. Idea of terrain trail will be on:

Friday Janet told Sandy to look @ Nov issue of MBA and see her in 2 pictures. I said I had the article and I would bring it by for her to autograph on Sunday. She did. Article has 3 locals signed.

Weather threatened and we blinked by riding back to shop. Broke up and headed back to desert camp. Sitting in front of computer, at least doing what i want instead of reading airplane engineering.

Weather forecast for tomorrow is for more wet, we are just under snow line. Jeff has a big ride planned tomorrow that might get weathered out.

I have a small scale topo map copied to Word that shows Sedona area and rides I have ridden. Impressive amount of trails in small area. I don’t mean Mt Zion trails in Brookhaven, MS tight. I can’t embed it in this blog. I will separately email it to you if you ask.
