Sedona: First ride of the season

I am on my way to Orange County, where I'm going to spend a month, working in a boring cube. I just drove 45 hours and I am all excited by the warm temperature. I've decided to stop in Sedona for a day or two to enjoy the great single tracks that I discovered here last year.

First ride of the season: I leave the car at the Back O'Beyond, trailhead, ride the short climb to Templeton trail, enjoy the awesome view on Cathedral Rock and head east along Templeton Trail. Go under the highway, then connect to the Llama trail, via a nice section on the Little Bell trail. Llama trail then connects to Little Horse, easy climb to another awesome view at Chicken Point, followed by an amazing fast downhill along the Broken Arrow Trail. To go back to the car, just follow Morgan Road and find the Mystic Trail to avoid riding on the highway.

Around 20km, maybe an hour and a half. It's a good warm up, and it gives a good overview of Sedona's riding.
