Sedona Friggin Loop
When:
March 9, 2013 at 8:30 am
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.
2013 GPX now posted to be available in January 2013.
2012 GPX file is available here:

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.

A GPS is necessary for this race, although if you are a local, you could get by using the map and the following general trail names:
Bellrock Pathway
Llama
Chicken Point

Chimney Rock
Dry Creek Rd

Sedona Big Friggn’ Loop in Mountain Flyer
Use the following comment section for questions, comments or heckling.
What is the milage of this loop?
~50-60 miles each year. It tends to be a 6-8 hour ride. I will have the GPX within a week or so.
have you had a chance to get a gpx file? I was planning to ride the route tomorrow.
Chad can you take me of the list, I can’t swing the trip over to Sedona right now. I try to ride it in a couple of weeks by myself. Sorry
Hope to catch you guys in Prescott
later, mike kunnecke
My vote is for the 2010 course http://connect.garmin.com/activity/27013268 except removing the death defying section with the huge cliff drop offs between the Schnebly hill road and 89 and instead going on Huckabey. 2011s course was to short in my opinion. Just a suggestion.
We will be adding Aerial and Frontier this year (more stuff on the northwest side of Sedona) and taking out the river crossing at Damifino.
I’m in
Can’t wait for this friggin one!
Chad, could you please add a link to the current roster?
Good day. Please sign me up, I’m quite excited to be returning to your fine state for this fine event. PEACE!
Can’t wait for another EPIC ride. This sounds like a total blast!
How would you split the course for multiple days? Thanks!
Trying Sedona!
Chad, Can you make sure I’m on the clicker for this one. I’m about 90% sure I signed up sometime back in December. Just want to be sure. Thanks, Rob
Newbie from Mancos,CO, Can’t wait to experience your trail system!
I’m in.
Your series in lookin sweet, count me in if its possible.
Looks like a great loop. Is the current available GPX the final route, or are you still revising?
Count me in!
in
In, plus a couple other riders from Las Vegas.
Sweet….make sure to sign them up as soon as you can. 8 spots left as of this morning, 2/28.
I’m in, one way or another depending on how arm friendly the course turns out to be……
Is there a 2012 course download or is the course the same?
New route to come out soon.
BTW, we have 8 spots remaining for this ride. Please sign up soon before we close off registration.
Just downloaded the GPS file to the Garmin, but it seems to be the 2011 file. I have read the course will be a little different, can we use the current file that is up? Or do we need a different updated one.
Rich
Working on the new course even as I write this….45-50 miles, 6-11 hours of riding.
anyone else camping? I was thinking of camping a little ways out to avoid a campsite, but found the Chavez Crossing Group Campground pretty much in town. They have 3 site that hold 30, 30, and 50 people starting at $65 a night. Anyone interested in that?
Free camping off Beaver Flats, 2 mile south of town. Go north on west on Beaver Flats, take second right to end of pavement and camp.
Ok, thanks.. I will be looking for it..
so, is this topofusion map correct or what?
Nope. I will post the new one when the GPX file is available.
I registered last week but I don’t see where it shows that I am registered. I just wanted to make sure that I am in.
Thanks

Would someone who knows these trails be kind enough to list out the trails in the order we will be riding them?
Put me on the waiting list. Thought I would be out of town but plans changed so I’m in.

Thanks for the GPX file. Course looks painfully fun.
Yes! what Craig said…thanks guys for the GPX file and all of your hard work!! Excited!
Anybody have suggestions for where to get water along the way?
Water- at Red Rock State Park and in Sedona proper.
Can you put me on the waitlist. Thought I would be out of town, but if a space opens up I’m in.
Added you to the list. Enjoy the ride!
Great! I have the .gpx loaded and I’ll see you all Sat.
Thanks.
didnt realize reg is required for this ride, was planning to just ride it with everyone – but put me on the list if possible? Thanks
You are in.
Have any spots opened up for the event?
I’m out
Caught a wicked cold Tuesday night and have been flat on my back for two days. Sry to miss out. Have a great time everyone.
Will there be any water stations? If not where would you reccomend dropping off a gallon jug along the course?
Red Rock State Park and Sedona proper have water, we pass through both at the beginning and middle of the ride respectively.
Last minute changes, please open my spot to another. Thanks!
Parking: Tons of businesses will be happy to help you for parking. Just make sure you ask them before parking.
The IGA is happy to have you park there and appreciates your business, just make sure you do not clog the parking lot. Dave W, the owner, asked if you guys could park away from the front of the store out adjacent to the grass field. He also said THANK YOU for any business and loves that we do this race in Sedona!
Hey Chad,
IGA took out a section of curb so you can park up on the grass in the parking lot. Also said you can park in the spots along the grass. See you tomorrow.
Should be able to get quite a few cars on the grass. See either Dave or Jay. If not, the front desk knows too.
I see Seron and John are in at 12:20?
Yeah.
Big THANKS to Bike and Bean for hosting the BFL 2012! The Colavita SW riders had a great time, and damn was it a ride of primo singletrack!

I wanted to thank all the organizers for their efforts at putting on the SBFL. It was a fun and hard ride and I continue to be impressed with the caliber of rider that takes on these challenging courses. I’m looking forward to Prescott and getting in when the pizza is hot and the beer is cold! THANK YOU!

Chad, this is Mark Povich. Please change my finish time to be with the 7:55 crowd. 9:02…no way! Thanks
Just for my conscience, please update my time to be with Tim Wilcox…7:54 ish. Thanks,Mark
I only finished the 2011 course so I should be listed as a DNF
BIG thanks for Chad and the Bike and Bean for last week’s awesome BFL! Great course and looking forward to doing it in reverse next year! My arm and hip are healing well. Bruise on the hip is still pretty tender and has lots of cool colors… LOL!
