amgems 79 Posted October 8, 2019 Recently moved to AZ. Just started exploring the area around Camp Verde. Lots of opportunities in the adjacent Prescott & Coconino National Forests. From my driveway, in one direction, Coconino NF is literally less than 1/4 mile away, Prescott NF about 2 miles. I forgot how rocky it is here in AZ. Got back into rock riding form after about a 1/2 hour. Here are some pics from my first Prescott NF 77 mile loop. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Much lower rainfall than usual. We did get a few really cool storms though. Fun for me to watch. The big rough tough German Shepard (cough-cough) didn't care for them much. The mapping continues. Lots of work ahead. I missed a lot of turns and hidden trails that are on the maps. Next time out I'll try to find them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saw the tags on your bike are now AZ; what did your bike cost to register 😡 Don't remember exact numbers, but it was about the same as CA. I got two tags, one for street and one for off road. Street one was about same as CA. Off road one was something like $25. Money goes to some kind of trail fund? I just did what the lady told me to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still available for breakfast club rides with enough notice. About 6 hours from here to Kendalls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
