my favorite riding- sedona





Went on a great ride solo on friday- long hard way to get to lost watch- mescal mt- great technical routes to start the ride- then to cockscomb-rupp trail-girdner- fill up with water at the cultural park- then ripping down herkenham- climb up to a beautiful finish on carol canyon back to mt bike heaven. I just love it........ We are so lucky to live 23 miles away. then steve and I went down to sedona saturday for a gruling long hard arm bike ride. that is great for me to really look around and take sedona in with steve and the dogs. Steve is the toughest person I know. not only does he have some level of pain everyday, but he gets out there and does more then able body people ever dream of.

my sister michelle's new bike




Had to throw a picture in of the critters- (suize & gus) . Michelle ordered a bike and now her new ride is done. I have to say it is light and pretty. I have been cross country skiing while the snow is good. It doesn't last long with blue skies and 40-50's this week. hope to get some good Sedona days in this week on the bike for me & steve. I have gotten to ride with Dara Marks Marino , boy that has been fun . nothing like rolling off rocks and ledges with such a strong beautiful girl. denise
