Something mellow(er) in Sedona on Monday then several of us are going down to PHX on Tuesday to ride the new(er) stuff at Hawes. Looking to ride Ride Mountain Rush
and Big Sister. We'll see what the group thinks about Sunset Ridge
A few of us are spending teh night and then riding Gold Canyon the next day. Nobody else in the group has been there so it should be a good time

That there is good stuff! Nice that you are able to keep up with the stylish rider in front of you for additional trail perspective.

103 miles tomorrow in the Coachella Valley. With my brother. Should be fun. Haven't done this one since 2016.

Nice! Jennifer and I were just talking about the Palm Springs century. Neither one of us knows if we would want to do another century.

I'm less and less into organized rides, but centuries are still a thing for me. Every now and then I get a wild hair and just go from the garage. Been a couple years, about time.

2015 was my one and only Tour de Palm Springs...

He at least gives a realistic view of the trails, even though his edits....and riding skills....might make it looks easier than it is sometimes. I will say that the Hawes seems to been fire and getting all the hype down that way nowadays. It's like nobody ever talks about South Mountain any more.

Bommer Canyon Saturday. I figure climb the near vertical hill to Cattle Crest and then down, up Rabbit Run and then back down. Shady Canyon to the fire road climb and then over to drop East Fork. Back up Ridge Route (which will not be pleasant for me at that point) and then over to Rabbit or Cattle, and if I have the energy, down one of them. Back up Rabbit and out.
Starting 7 or 7:30 @ Quail to (hopefully) beat the FB group that will be there.
I am meeting some friends at the Bruery later that day so I need to get in and get out. Get some.

Everything @Obsidian describes is north of the 73 Toll Road. Cousin T-No rode this today without issue: https://www.strava.com/activities/6692577825

JRA Grountain Bike 04/03/22.
This is a great event. It consists of two laps. One on your MTB. One on your gravel bike. First lap, counterclockwise. Second lap, clockwise. There are two options. One is 15 miles and 2200 feet per lap and the other is 20 miles and 3350 feet per lap. Jennifer is one of the organizers and will be volunteering the day of the event. I'd love to see a few IMTBers there. More info here....

Do contestants have to be riding a grountain bike for this event?

Our little event has steadily grown over the last few seasons because of the unique two bike format: every rider must bring a mountain bike and a gravel bike.

I have a two-bike hitch rack and both a mountain bike and a gravel bike.....
No guarantee I'll be there, but it looks somewhat interesting.

CeeDubb turns 50 today and he chose to do a boat load of Floop laps today. Sounds like we’ll be there most of the day. If you see a couple guys on their fifth lap throw water at us. And snacks.

Thinking of heading over to Santiago Oaks tomorrow morning. Never been and I'd like to get out to somewhere different. Any tips on the place? I talked with a friend who's been there about going together but haven't heard back so it may be a solo run. If anyone is planning on riding there Tues morning, maybe you could point me in the right direction. Don't need any hand holding other than how to get back to the parking lot but wouldn't mind the company. Probably be shooting for a 7:30 - 8:00 am roll out.
