Ride Profile

Ride Description

Fun ride from Old Town Scottsdale, or Fashion Square around Camelback, down through Papago Park, and back.

 

**ONLY TAKE THIS RIDE WITH A HYBRID/MOUNTAIN BIKE** 

 

Severe lack of road bike lanes and way too many idiot drivers on West side of camelback mountain (Tatum and Mcdonald) to 64th. Plus the canal is not a good place for a road bike.
