What kind of rider are you? I'm guessing at 50 miles a day..pretty decent. If so...stay away from the canal unless it's a very liesurely cruise. There's lot's of routes depending on what you want. Flats, climbs, hill intervals...drop me a PM, unfortunately the only day I'm available is the 25th, but, if you can hold a decent pace I'll take you on a ride that day and suggest other rides for the rest of the days. As for your location...not so good but not too bad, go north to Northern and East to Squaw Peak, go through Dreamy Draw, Camelback (great for hill intervals), Mummy Mtn area.....
