As the temps rise and the snowbirds flock north, let's top off a great season and ride some excellent trails in Browns Ranch. This will be a pace for everyone to enjoy, with the route winding through some of the great scenery in Browns Ranch.
This route is 16 miles with appx. 800 ft climbing. There are a few rocky sections and a couple of decent climbs. Note that this is not a speed ride! Just come out an enjoy a beautiful day with fellow riders.
We'll start at the Fraesfield Trailhead and ride up the east side of Browns, then loop around the northern trails and back to down past Cholla Mtn to Fraesfield. Here is the route: https://www.trailforks.com/ridelog/planner/view/497499/
Timing:
9:15am arrive Fraesfield
9:30 ready to ride.
We'll meet at the bathrooms in the visitor buildings.
NOTE THAT E-BIKES ARE NOT ALLOWED IN BROWNS RANCH. The City of Scottsdale does allow e-bikes in Browns but only with a city-issued permit. Anyone on an e-bike must have a city-issued sticker on the bike. You are expected to ride at the group speed and be cautious about passing or encountering others on the trails.
Bring 2-3 liters of water, spare tubes and tools plus energy snacks. Always smart to have a mapping app like Trailforks in case you get separated from the group.
