I left Flagstaff on a Monday morning and headed to Sedona. I took Highway 89A. The high elevation made me ride slow initially but soon I was going downhill. Before long I was surrounded by he red rocks of Sedona. The weather was perfect as I rode past Sedona and onto I17.
It was mostly downhill except after I passed Camp Verde there was a long, steady climb.
After that climb the sun was going down so I camped where Highway 169 meets I17. I found went down a dirt road about 200 feet and then turned off into the desert. I set up my tent next to some bushes so I was not visible from the road.
At night it was cold enough that I woke up and boiled water for a water bottle in my sleeping bag.
