Welcome to the desert, the Arizona summer has arrived, prepare to burn!

That might be a slight exaggeration, but if you get caught out on a ride after 11am, you'd best have a water source nearby. I got completely cooked on a 90-miler last weekend and it was no fun at all - it's time to run to the hills!

I've found a few good, long rides up in the cool country, but I'm always ready to learn of a few more - where are the good rides in Northern AZ?
