Today we ride! Yeah, my hip is killing me, but the hand is much better, so we’re gonna give it a go. A nice, flat, easy trail to tandem on. Off to the Campbell Mesa Trail Loops we go! This is a map of that trail system:

First, we did the loop to the left, which is the Continental Loop, and we rode it counterclockwise. Don’t know why, we just did. Fairly flat, a couple of rocky sections, but it went well. Nice, boring ride – no crashes! Next, we rode, again counterclockwise, the bottom loop, which is  the Walnut Meadows Loop, then it ends where the actual Campbell Mesa Loop Trail continues, and we took that on back to the trailhead. Only about ten miles, all fairly flat, only two or three spots where we ran out of steam on the rocky sections of climbs and had to get off for a bit, but all very rideable. Good ride, and good workout. It’s tough, wrestling a tandem in the dirt!

So, after the ride – Satchmo’s! Decent Cajun food, though the portions were a bit small, but we need to diet anyway …

After that, off to Sedona. Hear a lot about it, so we had to go see it, and maybe do a ride. Well, the scenery going there is gorgeous, as is everything around Sedona … but, the town itself? UGH! Reminded me of West Yellowstone, or Jackson Hole, there were so many damned tourists there! Can’t stand that. When we come back, we’ll stay in Flagstaff, and drive to Sedona for every ride. Never did ride, it was getting late and we were pretty beat, so we just went home, got some movies at Best Buy, some groceries at Safeway, and filled up the truck. Eat a salad, watch some Arrow, Season Two, and off to bed! Traveling again tomorrow!
