The route basically goes from Power road down Brown to the Apache Trail, past Canyon Lake, Tortilla Flat, Apache Lake (theres 13-14 miles of dirt road in here with a few heinous grades to boot), to Roosevelt lake, Then out to the Beeline and back to town via the Bush Highway and Saguaro Lake. Lots of lakes, epic scenery and a scenic but nailbiting descent of Fish Creek Hill! What more could a person ask for? How about 10000 feet of climbing including a 2000 ft climb over the pass by Mt. Ord on the Beeline? 28c or larger tires are recommended.
