Flagstaff

I would like to ride with you. I live in the Verde Valley which is on the way up to Flagstaff, and I love to climb. I am slow, very slow, but I love to climb. I will be riding up there this weekend on a GABA ride, PM me and we can exchange numbers if you are interested.

Hi Mountain Kitchen

The ride I think you are referring to from Absolute is led by Leslie Gilmore. This is a mountain bike ride - if that is the one you are referring to. Leslie has good skills and can teach you a bit on the mountain bike. If you're riding your road bike, I'd say skip it!

I'd love to ride with you, but sorry to say, I have two tennis league matches that I am hosting that weekend so I'm not able to ride.

Oh shoot....I thought it was a road ride.

Motochick, is that GABA ride mtb as well?

Spokewench, sorry I'll miss you! Would love to do the Lake Mary loop again sometime.

No MTB, road ride. Start Sat from Happy jack and ride into flag. Spend nite in flag and ride back next day. 60 miles a day. It is this weekend. Lemme know if you wanna go, may be able to share a room with you. Fully supported and they do good rides!

Ah that ride sounds great! Doggone it though, I'm working this weekend! Any similar rides or any type road rides up that way next weekend?

[motochick]

None that I know of, but there is plenty of good terrain up here to ride.

motochick, have you ridden up to Snowbowl? That looks like a nice climb. I don't have a mtb....only do road riding. I've not ridden in the Verde Valley; how are the roads? I've driven through and it sure is pretty!
