Default Nice Ride
Yesterday a friend and I took a nice short ride...

We took US60 to Superior. From Superior we took 177 to Winkleman. From Winkleman we took 77 up to Globe, and then back to Phoenix.

It wasn't a really long ride, but it made a nice short few hour ride. The view coming up over the top of the mountain on 77 was spectacular.

That is a good ride. 60-Idaho rd-Canyon Lake-Tortilla flats is a scenic ride also.

I like that ride too. It is the perfect time of year for it. That's a good ride if you do not have all day to spend but need to get out and put some miles on.
