Flag riding

Night time is getting no heater warmer, sometimes almost to hot w/ single down blanket cover.

Today i am to meet Danny @ 9:00 then take off for Flagstaff. made Schultz creek TH mid morning. we rode up Schultz to a cutover to Dogfood climbing to Arizona trail over to Schultz tank then down Schultz creek until we hit snow causing us to jump back on the road down until we felt we were free of further snow patches. We still found several in the deep shade. A bit of mud also that I slowed down for. I now have like gray mud splatters over the red rock dust. We started just over 7,000′ topping @ 8100′. I managed my breathing however I had nausea that just spoke of hurling. Horrible effort. Quite different riding a big constant uphill and a constant downhill. Riding in Ponderosa pine forest. The sound of the wind passing thru the needles. Extremely dry. Undergrowth is spring dead. Wonderful. It’s about an hour drive up canyon from Sedona.

Washed the mud off @ Danny’s then headed back to Deer Pass where an RV has squatted @ my preferred spot.

Should take tomorrow as a rest day. Wed is crown.
