During the summer most of AZ is way too hot for riding but up here in Flag we hardly get over 85 degrees or so. The terrain is sweet.
A little more AZ stoke, this is Flagstaff
Bumping. I figure a lot of you NS peeps would dig on this.
that doesn't happen to be ridable year round by any chance??
I've been in Flagstaff a few times but to boulder at Priest Draw. Is any of this riding near there? Man, it'd be sweet to do both next time i'm there.
Then they said, But Dave, we're sisters.
The riding is right out of town. It is usually under snow by December but during the driest years can be ridable most of the winter. I have been here for 10 years and the only winter like that was 2006 so don't count on it. The city of Flagstaff averages 110 inches of snow at 7k and the trails start on Mt. Elden at 9400k. Luckily though if the snow sucks for skiing we can just drive 45 minutes south and drop off the edge of the Colorado Plateau into Sedona which sits at 4300k and averages only about 6 inches of snow a year. Sedona has riding year round on red dirt and sandstone formations. Check out my other post. This place is a year round riding meca and with the current work we are doing for advocacy the legal fr/dh riding opportunities are only going to be getting better!
nice vid. i [HTML_REMOVED]3 AZ.
Seriously fun looking trails!
Thanks for sharing.
moar wicked riding! maybe i should go and visit my folks down there…:beer:
Pretty cool vid. My brother has lived in Mesa for last 5 years or so and wants me to head down there to ride. He just said not in June, July And Aug. (too freaking hot!) That trail looked fun, but its hard to give up north shore, squamish, Whistler, Pemby…….way too many to list to ride down there in 40c+ temps. How's March-April?
How's March-April?
This is April 20th of this year in Mesa:
