  • On a super windy, cold, and rainy day, I attempt to ride the most difficult trail in Sedona and I eat a huge helping of humble pie.

    Ouch! Nobody wants to start a difficult trail day with an OTB crash!
    Glad you seemed to get away without any major injury.

    Damn. Not the trail for such poor weather! I like your honesty that when riding alone to not be too proud to walk a dicey section.

    Despite conditions and that rough start, way to get out there and push your limits! That’s what it’s all about.

      Thanks! It’ll definitely be easier “next time” now that I know what to expect. 😄

    Looks a bit different than the Midwest.
    You did awesome man!

    I was there 20 yrs ago, it was horrific then. I see it has not changed much.

    Oh man, that was BRUTAL... But I'm glad that you are willing to ride it again (despite saying it'd be your ONE time on the trail)...
    Now that you've had eyes on it, the second and third time you'll definitely have a better time 🤘🏼(hopefully with better weather and friends)
    I will say though, that it doesn't get any less scary 😬

      Oh yea, I definitely left a lot of unfinished business up there. Best to face such challenges with friends (and better weather). 😝

    Grand Central is super flowy and fun. Definitely give that a go next time. And props to you for doing Hangover in those conditions (and solo).

      Thanks! It was tough but I was committed after chickening out last trip.
      I’ve heard good things about Grand Central and will definitely try to ride it next time. 🙏

    That was a good slam right out of the gate. I'm sure this will end up being one of those type 2 fun days. I'm the same way about new trails. I normally need to look at a feature a few times before I hit it and on new trails, I can get real cautious. I bet the next time you ride there, it will be a night and day experience.

    Hangover is past my pay grade. I do ‘ok’ on Hiline

    I was literally making plans to check out sedona when this popped up. Its a sign.

    • @TheMediocreMountainBiker
      @TheMediocreMountainBiker  3 года назад

      Of the three H's, Hiline IMO is the most doable for us regular skilled humans. :)

      I was looking at the cathedral rock loop too

    • @TheMediocreMountainBiker
      @TheMediocreMountainBiker  3 года назад

      Thats a really nice area (but where in Sedona isn’t? 😀). The climb on Templeton though is pretty brutal. I heard good things about Easy Breezy too, but only after I took a different route.

    You live in Illinois. What the hell are you doing out there?? Good for you. You went wayyyy farther than I would have. I wouldn’t walk some of those tight spots. Great video! The trails can only get easier from there.

    I think we’ve all had one or more(I’ve had several) of those rides when you just feel defeated within the first 5 minutes! Great job pushing through the suffering!👍🏻

    • @TheMediocreMountainBiker
      @TheMediocreMountainBiker  3 года назад

      Thanks! I wanted to turn around a few times, but I figured it couldn't get any worse. lol

    Seems like a lotta squeeze for the juice lol. I’m sure you’ll have a redemption ride in the future under better circumstances!

    That looked pretty scary, but such a cool view!! And now you can say you did it!! Nice job.

    TACO truck!! Awesome! Solo hangover in big wind and WET. Man, that would be scary with a friend. Did you see any other riders? Did you feel your balls grow after this?
    Props to you

    • @TheMediocreMountainBiker

      I saw zero riders and exactly 1 hiker (we chat in the video) on Hangover proper. Plenty of other hikers on the trails leading up. Saw some bikers leaving via Schnebly Hill Road as I was heading up.

      Lol, my balls were probably a little bigger right after Hangover kicked me in the balls. 😂

    Hangover seems to be like a Super Mario level.......do the cacti shoot their needles at you while you go by? Hope the rubber chicken survived. Safe travels from Lockport IL.

    Yeah that was pretty scary looking. I would've walked most of it. Great job!

    Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go. T.S. Elliot
    Nice job, tough conditions out there. I HATE wind! 😄

    Come on. You've ridden XX extension, that should have been a piece of cake!
    Obviously joking. That looked miserable.
