Saints😇&Sinners😈 – Old Black Canyon Out-and-Back

It looks like a return to mild spring days in the Prescott vicinity this weekend, so please come out for this casual ride on Sunday, starting behind the Starbucks on Glassford Hill Road. We'll ride around and through Jasper, then head to StoneRidge, ultimately taking the (paved) Old Black Canyon Highway to Quailwood Park (and back).

After meeting in the parking lot behind Starbucks, we'll head NORTH to pick up Jasper Parkway at the traffic circle on the Iron King Trail. We'll then ride south to cross Highway 69 and proceed on to StoneRidge. After a quick loop around this residential area (on Destiny Drive and Cloud Cliff Pass), we will ride out the Old Black Canyon Highway to pass through more PV neighborhoods (on Manzanita Trail and Turquoise Drive) to arrive at Quailwood Park. Following a brief stop at the park (which has restrooms), we will retrace our route back to Starbucks. (Note: This route is not to be confused with the OBC-Fain Road loop.)

Please consider joining us for this no-drop Sunday morning ride! The route is all paved and is about 27 total miles with around 1,500 feet of climbing. We will regroup at several points along the way, particularly at some of the strategic turns and highway crossings. Starbucks will be available afterwards for those who are interested.

As always, e-bikes are welcome! Helmets are required, lights are strongly recommended, and earbuds are discouraged.
