    Sedona AZ (July 14, 2016) – Sedona Golf Resort will host the third-annual Sedona Bike & Brew Festival August 26-27, 2016. The special event – believed to be the first of its kind – features mountain bike races on the golf course. The six-mile course runs along all 18 holes, 80 acres of fairways, tee boxes, cart paths, natural and manmade features.

    This year’s event kicks off at 2 p.m. Friday, August 26 with rider registration and a leisurely group ride to familiarize the racers with the track. A 20-minute criterium will follow the group ride, which local rider Cody Kukulski won last year. After the race, the Juniper Bar & Grille (Sedona Golf Resort’s restaurant), will host dinner along with music. Ten to 12 varieties of craft beer will be poured by Oak Creek Brewery (Sedona), Four Peaks Brewery (Tempe), and Oskar Blues (Lyons, Colo.).

    In the Men’s Open Division, local Sedona resident, Alex Petitdemange, will be defending his title after peddling to victory last year. This year’s races start Saturday, August 27 at 8 a.m. with six different competition classifications for juniors, women and men. Racing will be followed by an awards ceremony, music, food, drink and a raffle benefiting the Mountain Bike Club at Verde Valley School.  

    “Sedona has become a must-ride venue for mountain bike riders from all over the world and we are here to not only support that cause but to also throw a great party for the local community,” said Jeremy Hayman, general manager for Sedona Golf Resort. “We’re looking forward to a unique and exciting race that will support a worthy cause. And we’ll manage to have a little fun along the way.”

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
