Along my route from Camp Verde to Sedona, I had the pleasure of riding some of the sweetest gravel I’ve ever encountered. (Thanks RideWithGPS!)

There was plenty of mixed terrain to keep things interesting: several steep climbs and descents, deep gravel, mud, washouts, and rocks galore. A super fun combination of gravel and mountain bike-type riding.

That’s one of my biggest loves about cycling: you never know what’s around the corner, or when you’ll experience magical moments that’ll last a lifetime.

Here’s to more exploring!
