Lets Just Ride Motorcycle Group

We'll make a loop through Payson, lunch at Wild Women in Heber, continue through Show Low then Globe then to the Chevron in Apache Junction, where we'll all go our own way.

We'll be riding through lots of pine-forested countryside and gentle mountain curves, so this is a chance to get in a lot of scenic green before the brutal summer hits!

Also, the Salt River Canyon Rest Stop gives you a rarely seen view of the Salt River actually flowing! There is a staircase that takes you right down to the river's edge. Dip your hot, tired feet into the river before we continue on!

REMINDER: The 7:30 AM starting time is for the North side pickup. The 6:30 pickup is where I'll be starting, but East siders should probably meet us at the Chevron in Ft. McDowell.

This 3-day ride will introduce you to some of Arizona's famous history! We will be visiting the glamorous town of Bisbee and the infamous town of Tombstone!

According to Google:

Bisbee was founded as a copper, gold, and silver mining town in 1880, and named in honor of Judge DeWitt Bisbee, one of the financial backers of the adjacent Copper Queen Mine. The town was the site of the Bisbee Riot in 1919. In 1929, the county seat was moved from Tombstone to Bisbee, where it remains.

I made reservations at:

La More Hotel at The Bisbee Inn is the second largest and second oldest hotel in Bisbee, Arizona. It's colorful past remains present within the rooms and halls of the buildings. There will be absolutely no refunds for paranormal activities that take place in your room or on the premises. This includes, apparitions, poltergeist, spectral, possessions and bumps in the night. If you have a fear of such things, kindly stay at another hotel.
When you call (520-200-1772) the hotel, tell them that you are a returning customer and they will offer you a better rate. You can also register direct at Hotel La More Reservations.

DAY 1 - FRIDAY

This ride combines the best of the best!!! (Well, in my opinion...) It will be a full day of riding, but is well worth it, and you can spend this Memorial Day thinking of those who fought for your freedom to ride the American dream!

I have three optional stops listed. All are worth stopping at, but we probably won't have time unless you are willing to return home after nightfall. We can discuss whether we make these stops along the way, or give me your input before the ride.

• Pickup at the usual 7th Street and 101 QuikTrip for the west siders
• Pickup at the Fort McDowell Chevron (Fountain Hills) for east siders
• Refuel in Payson and, optionally, have a cup of coffee at the common grounds coffee shop, which is a repurposed home in a shady, woodsy area 2 blocks off the main road.
• Spend the next 2 hours riding gentle roads through pine forests and along Lake Mary!!!
• Lunch at Diablo Burger
• From Flagstaff, we'll wind through beautiful Oak Creek Canyon and make an optional stop in Sedona for a cup of ice cream
• Make an optional stop in Jerome for a cup of ice cream
• Ride through the outskirts of Prescott, through scenic Skull Valley and Peeples valley, and refuel in Wickenberg, where we can say our goodbyes.
