Mingus Squared 200k

This route starts in Sedona. It will first visit one of Arizona’s wine producing regions in Page Springs and Cornville. These sleepy hamlets are beautiful hidden spots. After wine come the climbs! We will start our first ascent of Mingus Mountain by riding through the hippy town of Jerome. It’s a fun town to visit, but we’ll just pass thru as we head up to the 7030′ summit. Take a look around on the 10 mile descent because you’ll be going back up it in a couple hours.

The route takes the “scenic route” back to Sedona by going back thru Cornville then riding straight into the Red Rock beauty of the Village of Oak Creek and Sedona. Don’t forget your cameras! Terrain: The route is heavy on the climbing with summits of Mingus Mtn in both directions. There are also plenty of other climbs that don’t show up in the profile, but will be very apparent in your legs. Don’t burn too many matches too early. Just enjoy the beauty of Arizona’s high country.
