South Mountain, Phoenix

Or Tucson

or St. George/Hurricane

St. George can be done in two days/one night with a solid rotation of drivers. In that case, for under $400 each, we can land in Fayetteville by 4pm Friday, ride into the night, take a group shower and nap, ride again after breakfast, and land at LAX by dinnertime Saturday.

St George is only 6 hours (or less) away by private vehicle. Leave Friday after work, get there by midnight, up at 5:30 Saturday to hit the trails, ditto Sunday, in the car at 6 pm Sunday to arrive home at midnight. Way cheaper. More fun. Less fraught.

Or if you have every other Friday off like I do, leave Thursday after work and avoid the traffic. :Roflmao

Can't do Sunday. Taking Friday off. Possible Thursday evening departure, but must return by Saturday night.

Hell in that case, lets all just fly to the East Coast and ride Pisgah for a few hours, then jump back on a plane, all sweaty and stinky, and fly home.

Oh man... that sounds fun!
 
Y’all funny.

Tom the Bomb would be a deluxe docent for SoMo. One of my best days on the mountain was with him and what’s his nut. There’s more than you can do in a visit if the harder trails are included. If you want an enduro blast with your tech, run the range Coast to Coast. Or Coast to Coast to Coast to eliminate the shuttle and finish on National DH. It’s a full-value MTB venue, and if you like chunky riding you owe yourself a visit.

I’d be checking out campgrounds at Usery Mountain and Bulldog area. A quick shot from there west on 360 gets you near SoMo. The metro area sucks IMO, but services are handy.
 
Agreed Mike , that was an awesome day! I still talk about how I learned from watching you roll the goods on Hobart.:thumbsup:

Here I am about one month since I posted this TH invite, and I haven't ridden a mountain bike since August 5. I'm still open to do a big ride, but I'm not sure there is anyone left here who would ride big and reeeaaaaaaaly slow. Still throwing it out there, though, since the only other TH invite on this website all summer has been E-bike, and me joining that ride would be like that time I showed up at midnignt at Chilao with my coil shock and all the boys had SS hardtails.

So far, it's me, @burt, @GH, @David Cho, and maybe @konakc .

Not sure the ride spot yet since the weather so far is hard to predict for early November. We'll figure out the details later this month.
