Middle of nowhere and this is sticking up out of the ground.



Tom got his money out of this back tire.



Dan thinking about the trail ahead...

Holy smokes Dan, what were you thinking?



Maybe it goes this way.



Whoop. There it is!

Tom thinks we should go that way.



Or maybe this way.







Looking back.

What's that there?



Why that's a heck of a place to have a baby!



Freaking dead end!!

After 94 miles in the saddle. We retired for some bikes, babes, and BEERS!



I hope they welcome bikers for lunch too.



Excellent burgers and tots!

ok. i'll ask. where is this? i'm thinking either near superior, or dragoon.

That isn't Dragoon

I am guessing the ride is out of Wickenburg this year.

And I soppose those were some of the easy ways??

a little hassayampa ridin', huh?

Ride was north and west of Hillside, way north of Wickenburg. Actually, the ride was a scouting trip for two different rides and the H @ M was one of them.
Thanks Terry!

Great report, pictures, and video Terry. I think the video captures the steepness of the climb out of the Santa Maria pretty well.

Great ride

Payson was awesome. Then you guys topped it with Prescott. How is this going to top Prescott? :huh
