Day 2 – Cathedral and Sub rock – 23 miles 2300 vertical – Guiness and eggs

                Breakfast – Tequilla mug – have you hugged your toilet lately – pms mug “     “ sedona café Excerrent – Sunglass shopping for me – LUTC and focker get some hair cuts – check out of the quail – Time to ride on that bike my people tuned up last night.  Randomely selecting trails seems to work so we head up verde valley road and look for a trail head (passing many slow bikers)..  We find it and the trail starts out a bit lame, wide flat trail, turns into cool swoopy single track, with small drops, some hard ups and banked turns.  Gary hears another rattler – or is it LUTC tossing off with a box of Tic Tacs in his hand??   To budha beach – Speaking of budha – I brought these pedals keith “sold” me and they are missing some freakin parts – good thing I had the intuition to bring 2 sets of platforms – off the list!!..  So budha was cool, Nice climb up with many switchbacks, lots of tourists (gummers), then it flattened out in some slick rock areas..  Down some high speed single track to the tunnel where I perform my first wheelie drop in a month..  To bell rock path LAME, but it got us to mystic trail some fast easy sleezy  downs.

                Broken arrow trail – im out of water but only 2-10 miles to go..  Cool trail, some great rock riding, moderate technicalities, FANTASTIC views. Down stairs (lutc CLEANS!!) To sub rock trail, tool around sub rock where I spank this guy on every climb and drop.  Off sub rock I find a line with no followers, to the jeep trail LUTC launches, zig zag to chicken point, Onward to really really cool single track, airtime, some tech sections, back to bell rock path – to home..  Strap the bikes to the roof, off to the reall estate agency in Sedona..  Red rock realty ?   This is red rock limo service – says chera – from Indiana. She can tell lutc where to have a good time..  She has a package for neil – I bet neil has a package for her.    So she calls the red rock guy and puts him on the phone “we have a problem – the hot tub jets aren’t working” – nothing we cant fix so we take the bell rock place, get some alien food, bike shop heaven (another lame bike shop), and find our new home that was 50 ft from where we stayed last night..  LUTC fixs the hot tub, figures out the TV while focker and I go shopping for some dollar off meat (fastest cashier in the west wants to make $100 bets with me about focker sun tan lotion).  3 meat, verde, jambagumbo – mass quantities – good eats..  LUTC is still lacing his wheel.  He almost got in 2 fights today on the trail.  “hot-tub…we don’t need jets, just feed loyd some beans”  “you guys are fun”  “can you milk me”  - Howling coyotes heard by all of us – creepy cool.

Rating – 4 buckets or rotten dollar off chicken meat marinating in  green tic tacs with a myseriosly gooey white coating.
