popping Fall colors in Sedona – slideshow

Once in while we get off the mountain bike and explore the hiking trails of Sedona, mainly just the trails that bikes are not allowed on 😉 The timing was perfect to hike West Fork, with the Fall colors in full effect. Gotta love the diversity of Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon!

did you miss the Sedona Grand Opener?

The Sedona Grand Opening Party has officially happened and the store is officially open! Damn that feels good. The party was a blast and a blur at the same time, and the vibe was unbelievably positive. If you missed it, well, you missed a good time, good trails, and damn good beer. But keep an eye on our facebook and blog as there will be plenty of more good times to come. This Grand Opening Party will undoubtedly live on as the "i've BEAN TO THE EDGE" event every October for years to come. The Thank You List: Thanks to all the Phoenicians, Flagstaffers, the contingent of Santa Fe'ans, and our new local 'dona friends for contributing to the good times, the laughs, the riding, and the fun. Thanks to Nate at Wanderlust Brewery for the amazing IPA and Lager. It was a major hit. Also shout out to Oak […]

Setting up Shop

Ever dream of remodeling a fixer upper? Seems so romantic and ideal to daydream about, remodeling a building left for dead and reviving it back to life with your own two hands. How its going to feel like an extension of yourself, how its going to feel so rewarding once completed….. well as they say, good things never come easy. Remodeling a fixer upper is a roller coaster of problem solving, how to videos, labor, and endless trips to the hardware store. You could say its a labor of love. Its like that bike race where mid-way through you're asking yourself, “Why am I doing this? This hurts!” – yet when you finish, you already can't wait for the next race. The reward meter is pinned to 11. With all of these ideals in mind, we took over the old storefront once home to the Mountain Bike Heaven bike shop. […]
