The web site ate my homework

Start from today:

I left beaverhead for Black Canyon city to pick up my sister @ the Rock Springs pie place. I left early enough to ride a piece of the Black Canyon Trail out and back from the Black Canyon City TH. I sort of paid attention to the forecast high temps. Sedona would be in lower 70s, I wished that 2000′ lower the temp would be OK for my ride. I rode out and back about 6 miles each way under blazing sun, no shade, but, hey, it was a dry heat. The Agua Fria was slightly flowing w/ clear cool h2o. The bitch of riding S from here is the monster climb out of the river. I pedaled all of it but stopped several times for a blow.

Ran into 3 riders heading back after their turn around. I caught up w/ them back @ river. Woman remembered me, Annie, who organized a Meet Up ride 2 years ago. She rode a 29 hard tail belt drive single speed.

Drank a beer @ TH. Drove across I-17 to KOA for $5 shower.

Thurs was a rest day. I did my laundry.

My new Formula T1 brake arrived @ BnB and I installed it. Earlier @ Fat Tire I bought a 2.2 Conti Trail King that I put on the rear and moved the 2.4 conti to the front. The Minion is in my storage box until Sedona again.

Today i rode w/ the new brake. After the new pads bedded in to the rotor the power came on. I got the goods man.

Tues Danny and I rode Soldier wash area. The recounting of that ride was eaten. Danny coached me thru several more tech spots. I walked this one:

Wed I rode Dry creek area solo from Cultural park. 2 hr 15 min hump that warranted rest the next day.

Gotta go pick up Lynn. I might not blog during her visit.
