still waiting for that flat to be fixed!
|
|
 |
this is the same company that took some of us touring a couple of days before
|
|
 |
at last we move onto a new part of the trail ...
|
|
 |
... but another flat is soon in coming!
|
|
 |
Much of the trail ran along the boundary to a wilderness area
|
|
 |
and a little further down past Dead Man's Pass we wait for yet another flat to be fixed!
|
|
 |
even the bikes want to get moving!
|
|
 |
Dave and Steve go for a stroll
|
|
 |
Pushing up the last section to get to the Mescal Mountain amphitheater

Mescal Mountain
|
|
 |
This was a common sight - clustering in sparse shade waiting for a flat to be fixed
|
|
 |
Gary rounds the bend
|
|
 |
Bryon rode to the trail head every day from his out-of-town campsite - and back!
|
|
 |
Brian chasing Ken
|
|
 |
Gary leaves his bike in the vortex circle to be healed
|
|
 |
you've guessed it - another flat!
|
|
 |
at least there's a bit of shade while we wait
|
|
 |
Ken has his picture taken
|
|
 |
We had a lot of Brians on this ride!
|
|
 |
our destination is the ridge below the peak
|
|
 |
Taking advantage of a flat to grab a snack on the edge of the Mescal Mountain amphitheater
|
|
 |
It was a really pretty place to take a break!
|
|
 |
are these more ancient ruins in the mountains? - no it's a Sedona resort village!
|
|
 |
no, Bob, don't say you have a flat!
