South Mountain in Phoenix

[christian]

I will be in Phoenix next Thursday for work. With a little luck, I might be able to rent a mountain bike and get a ride in on Friday before I leave. Can anyone recommend a place to rent a bike near South Mountain? Prefer a very good 150-160mm travel full-suspension bike.

Anyone want to ride early early Friday with me? Planning on Mormon to National to Buena Vista back on National.

Cactus Bike on Elliot, about a 5 minute ride to the trails from there. Have a post ride burrito at Los Taquitos in the same parking lot.

Thanks! Sounds like a Kona Process 153, a Los Taquitos Burrito, and a 4pm flight out of Skyharbor is my Friday. Not bad!

Los Taquitos has beer too, if that helps the excitement level at all. Sounds like a mighty fine way to waste a day in that town! Don't forget sunscreen and a lot of water when you're on the mountain.

Damn ! I have this pesky thing called client presentation mid morning or else I would've joined in the fun.

You should have amazing weather Friday but like JAG mentioned......there is zero cover out there so plan accordingly

azrider - just so we're on the same page - it's next Friday the 13th. Oh, wait...

[azrider]

HA, woops! As of right now count me in! I can do those trails on HT right?

Sad I live here and i don't know the answer to that..........:help:

[JAGI410]

I'll be blocking you from my Instagram feed that day as I'm already a bit jealous!

You can do anything on a HT, depending on your pain tolerance. National is a beast.

Looks like the weather will be more tolerable this Friday than next, triple digits coming.

Yeeeep, tomorrow is forecasted as first triple digit day of year :(

Lots of rocks and steps . Plenty of riders and hikers to call the EMS when you crash. Big fun
