Not the newest but still pretty good. Plus the first few minutes show some of my favorite trails here in big-bad-evil Phoenix. Throw in a little Shredona and Moab, ya can’t go wrong.

There is also an Episode 2 and an Episode 3.
Speaking of Sedona…might as well share this one too:

I really don’t know how he sits down with balls that big.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend and don’t forget to keep it dirty.
is it just me or does anyone else see D2 looking something like this:

btw – snowbird sucks. ski alta or die.
I see D2 looking exactly like that. Weird.
Bowsnird [sic] gets a better spring season than Alta does. And I heard a guy who knew a guy that said you can buy actual beer in Utah now. I wouldn’t know, I’ve always brought my own.
Oh, and I’ll be there in March, tacking a couple of days onto the Sun Valley/Vail trip. Gotta hurry back though, ’cause Blackcomb will be coming right up. Keep the waxy side down, brothers.
Going to Snowbird in three weeks. Slopeside condo. Can’t wait!
…i’ll be riding my bike under sunny blue skies with a few puffy white clouds tomorrow…
…bundled up, sure but here in nor-cal, what some people call a drought & the driest december in ages, i call fucking great riding weather…
mikey #34 – a little perspective for you…

Yeeeaaahhh….that’s bullshit. Don’t buy it for a second. Lots of transplants become parts of their communities, improve those communities, make friends with people who grew up there and have no problems at all like this. I count myself among them. I feel like my friends are in Flag, and many are as close as family. I took a lot from that community, but I gave back, too, and I NEVER encountered anyone who treated me as anything but a local who cared immensely about that place.
If you want to be exclusive, fine. Just understand that there are many of us that came to Flagstaff and were welcomed there, regardless of where we came from. I choose to remember Flagstaff from that perspective, not from the “You weren’t born here so you just can’t possibly understand” perspective. I’m not that jaded, nor were the people I met there and spent my time with.
@FatBob— yeah, that’s a load of crap. Me, I’ve lived in this town for fifty years on and off (well, since 1962 anyhow) and my mom and my sister and her family all live within a half mile of me. I feel like a local.
I live in the “multicultural” part of town; most of my neighbors have English as a 2nd language. Our school district has the highest non-white ratio in the state and there are about a hundred truly excellent Asian restaurants within a mile of here. Those guys are locals too, I reckon.
I’m happy to show them my favorite routes any time— I’ve got five decades of shortcuts, longer-less-steep shortcuts and gaps in fences and parking lot drops in my head. I say, let’s ride.
I’m basically transient. I change locations more often than I change my drawers but even I know that article FatBob posted is BS.
It all depends on temperament and friendliness. I’ve aged to the point where I don’t have either.
Now get off my lawn you brats.
yeah, it appears all hopes for some contemplation / reflection were lost on R2D2, BGW, et al. at least we tried…
…rabid loco…someday, you’ll have something to say that’s actually worth repeating…
…until such time………
Yes, contemplation and reflection. Quite obviously your specialty.
D2 @41 – say no more; your abovementioned quote says it all… “here on Drunkcyclist, where 99.9% of the readership doesn’t give a fuck about Flagstaff.”
yep – it’s abundantly clear. later, chizzlechest.
You’re right, it does say it all. It is abundantly clear. So why do you keep bringing your negative, anti-everyone and anti-everything attitude around here? If you don’t like us at DC, go away. No one will miss you.
Noone gives a fuck about flagstaff because of the holier than thou attitude which passes for opinions by you & your ilk.
Listening to your diatribe, I’m reminded of the folks who comprise the critical mass rides; the message may be valid, but your delivery sucks.
You’re alienating the very people you wish to educate.
@ Fatbob’s, comment above. If you don’t know Flagstaff and/or Arizona north of the Mogollon Rim couldn’t possibly survive as its own “state,” then you don’t know anything.
