Well at least the wet weather we've had recently has given me the time to add a MTB trip I did back in April to My website

http://WWW.MTB-HOL.COM

Two weeks of fantastic singletrack riding and NO rain

The route I took

Phoenix Area Ride

Hawes – Had a great ride here with some AZ MTBR forum members, great trails and good company

On another day I had a great ride over at Pima & Dynamite – brilliant xc singletrack

Saw a couple snakes riding at Pima here one of em

Sedona
I did a couple of rides in Sedona on the first day I did a big loop near Oak Creek Village
Llama Trail

Broken Arrow Trail

On 2nd day I rode with a friend and his dog, We rode some trails I'd not done before and having the dog along meant I didn't suffer as much as I normally do riding with my friend who's used to the altitude, as instead of waiting for me we had to wait for the dog

Flagstaff

On this trip I only managed short ride on the Fort Valley trails (Upper Mt Elden was still snowed in)

Kingman

I rode some excellent XC trails near Kingman

St George

At St George I rode at Gooseberry Mesa – rode the hidden trail for the first time

And saw another rattler

I rode with Friends I'd met on a previous trip At Little Creek, I much prefer little creek to goosebury much better xc riding with great flow and superb views

I rode at the slick rock swamp for the first time – very nice techy singletarck with nice views, and great guiding from my mate Rick

Fruita

Rode Up at 18 road a couple of times in the day and at night

Joes Ridge

Top of ziperty-do-dah

Steep bit of Ziperty

Vegee Trail

Primecut at night

Western Rim Trail – nice singletrack at times but perhaps a bit too much double track

Kokopelli Trails – Ridden here quite a few times and the trails are still great to ride

Cortez

The only thing that really sucked about this holiday was Moab – because I got stopped for speeding as I headed down towards Moab

Phils world trails were nice (But a bit too buff) – the best part was the rib cage (not shown as i was having too much fun riding to take a picture – see video on my website)

Sandcanyon was one of my favorite rides of the trip – very spooky as it turned to dusk – due to all the indian ruins and wilderness feel

Gallup

I rode the High desert trail in the day and at night – my friend from flagstaff plus dog drove all the way out to ride with me on the high desert trail, and we had a great day

I'm currently planning another trip out to SW USA in April / May 2010 if any one's interested in hooking up for some rides get in touch

Takes me right back

We did lots of cycling round there in the 1990's (1994) I think. We had 3 months living out of my friends flat in Boulder Colarado.

We did a couple of Moab trips including the White Rim Trail without support

I'm just scanning some photos at the moment dues to the excitement of now having a calibrated monitor and Windowsw 7 still being able to drive my scanner. Maybe I'll post some later

Ride em cowboy ,looks fantastic mate !

prime cut and zipety do dah, yes please.
