I have been puzzled by the road from Munds Park to Sedona downtown.

The first 8 miles are pretty easy and staight forward. Just a dirt road. Lots of regular cards get to see the views from the lookout point.

I however wanted to explore and continue the next 6 mines to downtown Sedona – the road was very rocky and this was my first time encountering the size of boulders and rocky terrain.

It was fun, but I may have been going a bit too fast because I got my first flat tire, and frankly speaking I was not prepared for it! The tire had a slash that could not be repaired with the puncture kit, and I had no spare tire. I was about 2 miles away from the main road when I noticed it by the sound of the punch of the rocks on the rim with the flat tire.

Had to look for a gas station and thankfully there was one that they sold me a used tire replaced mount it and got it back so I can make my way back home.

On the way back I saw the famous pink jeeps of Sedona ! That was fun passing them and saying hello — They go really slow 🙂

Loved the challenges, the scenery, the people, It was the most epic day of my riding career (all 6 weeks of it!) 100%
