Sedona Friggin Loop
When:
2013 CANCELED due to weather.
Where:
Bike and Bean We will be finishing at Bike n Bean with beer and pizza. Bring $10 if you want to eat and drink. DO NOT PARK AT the Bike n Bean. Park in any of the nearby shops, like IGA or Dara Thai. This will help with distributing our cars among the shops that are there instead of taking up all the parking at one specific spot. Ride your bike to the Bike n Bean and be ready to leave at 8:30am.

See TopoFusion’s Tutorial on uploading GPX tracks for help loading the GPX file onto your GPS.
Route Warning:
Due to the nature of this route, I strongly advise you to have some of the maps below. Sedona is generally a well-marked area, nonetheless, as you will see, there are tons of trails that deviate from the trail (unmarked most of the time). I highly recommend that you either pre-ride the trail or consider taking a GPS on the route.

Bellrock Pathway

Will there be a wait list?
Thanks: Pat
Thanks for the e-mail response. From what I can tell, the course is going to be the 2012 course, ridden in reverse. That would mean around 52 miles with about 5,600 of vertical, right? Thanks!
When will the map be posted for 2013.
Yeah, I will put it up shortly.
quick question. last years reverse would be Rudd and Girdner to Last Frontier. the list says Western Civilization to Last frontier. What way do you think it will go? thanks
it is Feb 1 where do I sign up???
Yeh, us too! Us New Mexicans are VERY excited for the ride. Rod Bush and Laurie Mauderly-Bush
Feb 1, and trying to sign in for myself and Michael Taylor.
ya whats up, you guys on navajo time or what.
im gonna beat my time last year.
thanks again for your fun series
Give them a break J Gila 100 tomorrow and Antelope Peak and I think not everyone is in state. Maybe a bit busy?
Registration is OPEN!
Morning!!
Hey Chad, Tony here at NM Bikensport in Santa fe. Could you give me a jingle 505-670-9674 huge thanks
Sign me up!
I guess I signed up in the wrong area, I need to bow out anyway. Thanks!
I pre-signed up ’cause I can’t read, so now I’m reregistering ’cause its Feb 1. I’m in
Registered…wootwoot!
In on a Siren!
I’m out riding all day, come home and the registration list is already FULL!! I guess I’ll ITT the route starting at 8:35am
Judging by what happened last year, I’ll probably let 5 or 10 minutes lapse as well to avoid the crowd.
Is registration already full with 74 spots or is their a lower cap? Would love to come out from NM for some riding and some baseball spring training!
Yes, it is full unfortunately. I will publish the starting list today.
Looking at Strava, and Garmin Connect, Some of the trails on the list were not used last year, trying to pre ride the route. just not sure where it is going to be in spots.
If something comes up I’d like in thanks
If a spot opens, count me in, please. Thanks
Put me down on the wait list too!
SIgn me up 4 the wait list, I’m tired of doing my base miles in the snow.

For the people looking at Google to find the Bike and Bean, it’s off a little. It’s located right off of Hwy 179. https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=34.789703,-111.763032&spn=0.000002,0.000814&t=h&z=20&layer=c&cbll=34.789703,-111.763032&panoid=PJS4l9CihhvxiCB-hTZkTQ&cbp=12,292.17,,0,-0.06
actually, Bike and Bean moved. The google map is correct.
When is the GPX going to be available for those who would like to pre-ride the course?
Hi, do you have the GPX ready yet? Is the course counter clock wise, or clock wise? Thanks
I don’t see a GPX file yet. Is it available?
GPX file https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5wp36XhsbT_TXBZRkFwWWc1MGs/edit?usp=sharing
Check your email tomorrow to get more ride info along with the GPX file.
So the weather is looking crappy for this weekend and can make traveling from NM a little sketchy. Might have to TT it next weekend if the weather outlook doesn’t improve.
Shane- thanks for the correction.
Hi Chad – I am not going to be able to make the ride this time…I’ll send you an email as requested… Maybe next time…Thx.
CCW from what I can see
30 percent chance of SNOW for Saturday!
I’m not going to make it, so bump one from the wait list on me.
Nate
New registration for *new* Sunday date is up. Let us know if you plan on showing up.
Hey Chad, just got the email, but don’t see the new date/registration area…don’t wanna miss out on hometown ride! Thx
NM, musta been typing the question as you were posting it!
Do the trails dry up quickly in Sedona after rain/snow?
I will not be able to make it on Sunday. Have a great ride!!
The car bridge they la Mara is all locked up/blocked off with newly posted no trespassing signs… I’d highly recommend crossing at red rock crossing or thru red rock state park like last yr
I assume we will need $$ with us the enter Red Rock State Park . How much is it?
$3 last time I rode through there on Thanksgiving.
Can’t make the Sunday edition, have fun out there!
Unfortunately I am out, is this how I un-register?
Otley
Cant make Sunday. Have fun. Peace
Sorry to say I cannot make it for Sunday. Will have to TT it another time.
Dave Sewell
Sorry, won’t make it for Sunday
It is dumping in Flag. A foot of wet snow on the ground. I would say Sedona will not be rideable on Sunday. It may be possible but will do extensive trail damage.
Rod and Laurie Bush cannot make it sunday after all. Hope all you riders have a great day out there.
Go Tsosie!
Can’t do it tomorrow
I am not going to be able to make it
thanks for your hard work AZES
