Description

Fun ride in Sedona with my dad. We started from the Bike and Bean shop, Bell rock pathway and then took Templeton – lots of entertaining slickrock patches!

We rode all around Cathedral Rock to hit the river and later went on the dirt road and paved road to close the loop. Nice mellow ride on a hot, +90 degrees day…

Generally not very technical, but this ride got its rating thanks to the rocky switchbacks at the end of Templeton! These are an excellent challenge – one switchback in particular requires some trial skills (which I unfortunately couldn’t serve up today)...
