Massive Sedona Local Hook up.

My timing was amazing, on Sunday night, when I decided out to a fellow member of the Online Mountain Biking forum MTBR.com know as Trail Doc. He's been deemed the self appointed Sedona Ambassador. I had seen his posts in the Nor Cal forum a few times. Sunday night I googled some stuff on Sedona and his posts came up. I sent him an email and lucked out! Trail Doc just happened to be gearing up for a tour for Pivot Bikes and invited me along. After some discussion if I was a cable rider he was kind enough to invite me along. Trail Doc and a Finnish Pivot bike shop crew on a loop including Highline which skirts the ridge below the peaks of Cathedral Rock. Very exposed and narrow with incredible views. We had a solid 5 hour riding day and only covered about 12 miles. That's insanely slow going. What's cool about riding with this guy is that he and his friend built many of the trails that we rode. I've been lucky enough to have ridden with a trail builder before and it's about the coolest way to get to know a new trail town. The Finnish group was very strong with amazing technical skills. They claim it's because of their awesome Pivot DW linkage, but these guys are damn good. Trail Doc and I near Cathedral Rock Witch Doctor or Special Ed trail. Classic Sedona chunky single track.
