Wow, no matter what week-end is scheduled it's always bad for somebody. We can always do two rides in April can't we? Those that can go on the 7th and again on say, the 24th? I'll set a rendevous spot and whom ever shows up, we'll go. I'd like to wheel-out of the valley when the weather may most likely to present the coolest temperatures, the end of April is most likely to be warmer, although not unbearable.
There is a road from Kirkland Junction to Bagdad(County 10)to SR93 (County 20) that I've been on and it was decent and pretty but not heavily traveled. It's been 25 years and would like to visit it again. For the 7th, meet up at the McDonalds at I-17 and Carefree Highway @ 0700 and we'll eat breakfast at the Copper Belle in Wickenburg and continue on from there. Two-lane highway most of the route.
For the 24th there is a pretty loop south of Superior on SR177 to Hayden (breakfast) back north on SR77 to Miami (stop for some sightseeing?) and back to the valley. Or for a really nice LONG day trip, if it's not too warm, is south to Benson, south to Sierra Vista, to Bisbee, back to Tombstone, and back to Tucson and Valley. Give me some input on route preference. Again, can't please everybody, but will do best!!! For the southern trip will have to leave valley @ about 0500 hours to see everything and get back right after dark.
