I rode Cottonwood valley back in August. I found a tour from Las Vegas Cyclery, where I rented a bike and went with a guide.

It was a nice ride but I didnt think it was advanced. Not very technical and not very steep, the climb was pretty gradual. It was a good ride back down though. The novices should be fine with the ride if they are in shape.
