Just before leaving BC for AZ I decided to go riding, taking pics of some of the brilliant colors that show up that far W. I'll start w/ the road out of my home:
and here are the same trees, but looking BACK uphill:
The rest will be in the order of my ride, starting going N
Awesome. I left Kelowna when the university was breaking ground, and that whole area was orchards and small farms. Magnificent country. Supposed to be near 100 this weekend here, you should bring beer.
I've been researching some rides around PHX, some longer trips like a back way to Jerome etc. I saw you did the BDR or parts of it, do you have a couple 'don't miss' rides??? There's a ton of info on ADVRider, so much great riding in AZ.
Last - have you done BACK way to Crown King on your V?
Reminds me of why I miss riding around BC, besides the folks I know there that is. Thanks for the pics..............now enjoy Arizona. I need to get back down that way myself and ride some more of Route 66.
Caveat: I don't know for a fact FastEddie is willing to share his 'old grandad', or ancient bottles of 'Blue' (Canickistan brew), or whatever else he may have brewed up in his spare time..... but come for the ride anyway. The only rule is 'Epic'.
Joe - just looking at my maps: we went THRU Cleator on the way IN, then W of Crown King we transitioned to the "Senator Hwy" and NW up to Prescott. The name - Senator Hwy - belies the fact that it was a VERY GNARLY, NASTY 'trail' (at least - in SEVERAL LONG sections!).
Yes, that's definitely the round trip and the back way is apparently much more dirt bike oriented in a few spots. I'll take that as good advice, and stick to the less killer routes for now. Heading up through 7 springs (N of Carefree) and up FR41, perhaps all the way to New River. I believe the Great Western Trail runs up that way too. Thanks for the feedback. Cheers!
