  Event: Copper Chief & Copper Jackalope outing

  Date: Sunday, February 16th, 2025

  Time: 10:00 am

  Ride Meet-up: Yavapai College Verde Valley Campus (Clarkdale)

  Post-ride Meet-up:  Copper Jackalope

  
  

  Details:

  Copper Chief is getting close to completion and will be hooking up with the Black Canyon Trail. And, Quail Springs will be connecting with Copper Chief, as a lot of progress has been made on Quail Springs.

  
  

  This is a beautiful area, as you get expansive views of Sedona, the San Francisco Peaks and the entire Verde Valley. This is not a technical area and is a great trail system for new riders as well as experienced riders looking for long, fast, XC rides.

  
  

  If you've never ridden Copper Chief or Blowout, this is a great time to come out and see these trails. If you ride in the area a lot, come out and show fellow VVCC members what they have been missing! 

  • We'll be meeting up at Yavapai College at 10am and heading out at 10:15am through Blowout to start the climb up Copper Chief.
  • • Route: 559 Campus > 551 Blowout Canyon > 535 Copper Chief and back the same way. 
    • This route is ~ 22 miles with 3k ft. of climbing.
  • There are many options to make this a longer or shorter ride. 
  • Based on who shows up, we'll break into multiple groups with various routes and distances.

  Post-ride Meet-up @ Copper Jackalope

  Please join us for the Sedona Mountain Bike Festival - the VVCC's largest fundraiser of the year!
  

  In addition to the Beer Booth Token Sales, the VVCC will have two pop-ups next to the beer booth like last year with snacks, refreshments and chairs for volunteers and members to hangout and relax. And, we have a couple new volunteer opportunities outside of Beer Token Sales in 2025.

  "Lounge" Hosts will welcome VVCC members to the "Lounge", answer questions from members and festival goers, ensure the snacks, ice and coolers are full and put things away at the end of the day. You'll be the Host for the "Lounge" during your shift. 

  Group Ride Leaders will lead Group Rides attended by Festival goers and VVCC members. We've setup two shifts for each Group Ride for a Ride Leader and a Sweep. You outline the route, distance and # of people that you want to take on your Group Ride. You can start the ride wherever you want, but we recommend starting at the Posse Grounds at the VVCC tents in the Beer Garden. If you sign-up to be a Group Ride Leader, we'll reach out for the details about your ride and provide you some additional information. If you want another member to be your Sweep, sign-up for both shifts. This is a super fun way to participate in the Festival and meet some new MTBers!

  Each volunteer shift earns you a free token to be redeemed at the beer garden.  Training will be provided, so no worries about what you're supposed to do. We'll ensure you are well supported!
