The Long and Winding Road ... to Diablo Burger, Flagstaff

This ride combines the best of the best!!! (Well, in my opinion...) It will be a full day of riding, but is well worth it, and you can spend this Memorial Day thinking of those who fought for your freedom to ride the American dream!

I have three optional stops listed. All are worth stopping at, but we probably won't have time unless you are willing to return home after nightfall. We can discuss whether we make these stops along the way, or give me your input before the ride.

• Pickup at the usual 7th Street and 101 QuikTrip for the west siders
• Pickup at the Fort McDowell Chevron (Fountain Hills) for east siders
• Refuel in Payson and, optionally, have a cup of coffee at the common grounds coffee shop, which is a repurposed home in a shady, woodsy area 2 blocks off the main road.
• Spend the next 2 hours riding gentle roads through pine forests and along Lake Mary!!!
• Lunch at Diablo Burger
• From Flagstaff, we'll wind through beautiful Oak Creek Canyon and make an optional stop in Sedona for a cup of ice cream
• Make an optional stop in Jerome for a cup of ice cream
• Ride through the outskirts of Prescott, through scenic Skull Valley and Peeples valley, and refuel in Wickenberg, where we can say our goodbyes.
