[TD="class: label"] Wife and I finally made our local Bear Mountain. We have visited Sedona, AZ 4 times in the the last three years. Hiked a tough trail called Bear Mountain. Only made it to the top twice...once in good weather...once in mild rain. Other two times we got stopped once by really bad rain and then by scary ice in the wrong places.
Started riding in April for the first time since childhood. One goal was the ride to Marshal and back. Three tries failed...first from lack of conditioning...second two from rain. Both the rain rides we got close, but the mountain roads got too scary with no brakes.
MADE IT there and back home Friday!
Just signed up for RideWithGPS. Friday's ride to Marshal:
