Hey all.
I'm in Colorado and looking to go south for a ride soon when the weather gets bad. Any recommendations? Arizona, maybe New Mexico (not sure how cold it gets there), Texas, California, etc would all be in play. I'm looking for something at least 60+ miles and preferably more over 2 days.
Thanks!
How far do you want to drive? There are miles and miles and miles of gravel in Arizona. Patagonia is a very special place and is 2.5 hours from me, I'm on the outskirts of Phoenix. From Phoenix to Tucson, there are more gravel roads than you could ride in a year and this is the best time of year to ride them. I'm trying to get some guys together to ride some gravel outside of the Florence area. That's a small town that's basically half way b/w Phx and Tucson with roads galore.
Good luck and if you make it down this way, let me know. I'd be up for a ride, but I have never bike packed if that's what you are looking for. Mostly, b/c nobody I know wants to do it unfortunately.
