For June's ride FBM-Phoenix Phreaks planned an out of town ride to escape the heat. . This ride took place on 06-21-08.
Oak Creek Canyon Downhill. This was a point to point ride that
required vehicle shuttle. They started at the park at the top of
the hill, and rode down hill to Sedona. This ride went downhill on Hwy Alt 89 without bike path's. With it's two lane scenic black top road with
some steep down hill switchbacks, trees and tourist traffic, it was worth dealing with the hazzards. This has been the longest
ride the phreaks have attempted, but it was almost all completely downhill.
