March 11-14, 2026 Wed-Sat
In March 2026 Bike Prescott will head south in search of early spring flowers and warmer weather. We will stay in Tubac, AZ which is known for its vibrant art scene and rich history. Each day, we will get on our bikes and take advantage of the great low traffic roads. After riding, we’ll be free to check out the area’s wealth of other interesting things to see and do.
Tubac and the vicinity is a popular vacation destination for the cooler month of March, so please don't wait to make your reservations! Hope you can join us on this new adventure.
