    Where are we now?

    A design firm was chosen and the lucky group is International Mountain Biking Association - Trail Solutions  with the help of STANTEC Consulting Services, Inc.  On November 4 we had our kick off meetings and site visits and IMBA-TS/Stantec are creating preliminary designs of the park showing recommended phases and amenities.

    Current Timeline

    January 7th- City staff and Bike Skills Work Group will meet to look over first three conceptual designs.  Amenities will be chosen based on appropriateness and budget.

    January 26th- A Community Outreach meeting will be held in the Vultee Conference room at City Hall at 5:30 p.m.  This is open to the public.  Participants will be able to give their feedback on proposed bike skills park designs.

    Getting Involved 

    If you would like to donate money for this project, you are able to do so on the side bar on the right of this page

    Come to the Community Outreach meeting on January 26th.  5:30 p.m. in the Vultee Conference Room at City Hall, 102 Roadrunner Drive.

    Curios how the bike park is coming? Well good!!! We are behind the original timeline but we just received the 100% plans produced by IMBA Trail Solutions in Conjunction with Stanctec Engineering. Things are looking good!!!! We also received 500 cubic yards of dirt donated from the Marriott project which will significantly reduce costs on dirt import. Engineering has to take one final look over the plans and then we will be to sending this project out to bid for construction in the coming weeks! If you know of anyone who would like to be on the contact list for the potential construction contract get in contact with Doug Copp the Sedona City Bike Park Cordinator at: DCopp@sedonaaz.gov

    VVCC Annual Meeting

    Come join us for the Annual Meeting!! We’ve been hard at work trying to grow cycling and we want to step back and have a good time with you.

    The party/meeting will be at the Mystic Hills Clubhouse in Mystic Hills off of HWY179 near the Chapel in Sedona. We will be providing food for the party if you would like to bring beverages we would be grateful and will love to share good times over said beverage.

    Timeline:

    2:00ish – Rides are always great (please email us board@vvcc.us if you would like to ride road or mountain)

    5:30 – Meeting

    7:00 – Food and Social (Food will be provided but potluck items are welcome as well)

    We hope to see you there!! Also the clubhouse has a Pool and Jacuzzi so bring swim attire if you like. Please RSVP by Friday September 5th.

    Cheers,

    VVCC Board of Directors

    The Sedona Film Festival and Verde Valley Cycling Coalition present:

    ARRIVAL

    A film premiere and benefit for the Sedona Bike Park

    ONE NIGHT ONLY - 2 shows!

    Tuesday, June 17 • 6 & 7:30 p.m.


    Tuesday, June 17 • 6 and 7:30 p.m.

    ONE DAY ONLY — TWO SHOWS! 


    This “movie night” event is a fundraising benefit for the new Sedona Bike Park, which is scheduled to break ground soon as the newest addition to the Posse Grounds Park complex. The Sedona bike park will no doubt be one of the most photographed parks in the world.

     “Arrival” will bring viewers into the reality of a new generation of freeriders and racers. The film stars renowned bikers Steve Smith, Logan Peat, Ryan Howard, Mitch Ropelato, Matt Miles, and the Coastal Crew — Kyle Norbraten, Dylan Dunkerton, and Curtis Robinson. “Arrival” also features the talents of a new breed of mountain bike filmmakers and photographers – including Nic Genovese, Matt Miles, Matt Dennison and Haruki “Harookz” Noguchi.

     Come enjoy a night of fun with fellow riders and film enthusiasts. Beer, wine, soft drinks and concessions will be available. There will be a presentation before the film to show the status of the park and where it is in the design process. Having already raised most of the design fee, the organizers will be showing some conceptual maps and explain the different features being discussed for the first phase of the park. They will also update audience members on how to provide input on selecting what features are built first.

     The evening will include a raffle for some very nice gifts including a $750 gift certificate from Enchantment Resort.

    “This is a community bike park so please come and show your support,” said Doug Copp, City Bike Coordinator. “More funds will mean that we can get even more features built in the first phase.”

     “Having walked the 13 acre site with a number of bike park builders and design companies we have heard on more than one occasion that the site is one of the best they have seen for a municipal bike park,” added Copp. “Expect the park to be a model park for the city, the builder and the community.”

     This is tremendous opportunity to come have some fun and see a great film while supporting this great new addition to the Posse Grounds Park complex.
