The most obvious, if you haven't already: South Mtn.

Disclaimer: don't live there, never have lived there, and other than a week spent riding in Sedona, that's all I got. Well, the day we spent riding SoMo was pretty damn good.

The National at South Mountain one time last year near the start of summer. Will definitly ride more often: not for beginners. Sedona, I try to ride a couple of times a month after the summer season is over. Stellar riding as well.

I was there a couple of weeks ago (scottsdale)...seemed very sparse. I would have loved to have ridden something but didn't have time.

Hawes, Pass Mtn, Goat Camp, Phx Preserves (1a, 6, 8a, 304), South Mtn, Black Cyn Trail, McDowells. It's all good.

To All: When in Phoenix, definitely ride South Mountain trails. Minutes from downtown and especially not for the weak.

Ya I saw some of your...mountains. Awesome to look at. I would have loved to have taken some time to explore. I was shocked at how your mountains actually sprung up in the middle of no-where. Very different from here, where it is constant ranges of mountains.

Check out the South Mountain terrain someone posted on You Tube. Although there is much more than what's on the video.
