Sedona to Cottonwood Ladies bike ride w/ Julie P

Hello Ladies

Julie has offered for the Ladies to come up and ride with her on June 12 and everyone can pay $5 in advance and She will have all the fixing for sub sandwhiches, chips, potato salad, water


Location
Villas of Sedona
120 Kallof Place,
Sedona, AZ 86336 ,
it’s a 1500 sq ft condo with pools, hot tubs, outside seating etc and plenty of room for everyone to come for the day



We would ride from Sedona to Cottonwood approx 34 mi round trip via 89A highway, large shoulder for bikes and very open and scenic

Additionally, depending on who rides we could make a day of it and venture further to Jerome approx 52 mi round trip with some additional climbing


The car commute from Tribe to the timeshare is 2 hr 15 minutes, I will have xtra sleeping room in 1 bedroom (usually a queen bed) and a sleeper sofa (queen) in the living room if a couple people want to come but don’t feel they can do the round trip in 1 day comfortably

I have always wanted to do this ride but have never had anyone to do it with so think about it and even if you just want to come on Sunday and ride and spend the night (oh did I mention we have a few hot tubs on property haha) please let me know



Julie p.
Please RSVP befor the 9th


Heres a link so you can see some pics and have info on the condo in case you want to check it out

The June 2011 Saturday Ladies only bike ride Calendar

Good Morning Ladies
For the past two months we have had two groups every Saturday. The short group has come a long way. They started out riding 14 miles and in a short 2 months they have are now riding 34 miles. As for the long route- They are holding steady, They took on the challenge of making the left turn on to the blind which adding 8 miles to there ride. There goal was to catch the group that turned right on the bline. The combined groups came out and rode into San Juan and the the Veteran Memorial Cemetery. These aren't easy ride, Every last one of you were did great and I enjoy seeing your smiles of accomplishment. Congratulations to you all.

It's time to combine the two groups. Although we are doing this, it doesn't mean that the dynamics of the ride will change. All this means is that we will no longer split into groups. We will be riding the same route, at different paces--that's all. We will still focus on cadence, drinking water while riding, hand signals along with bike handling skills.

*****Also Julie P has suggested a bike ride on June 12 from Sedona to Cottonwood approx 34 mi round trip. Please check out the ladies blog for more info and if you want to go please respond to this email by June 9th.******
