Lots of good riding in Scottsdale. Go to mapmyride and enter your zip code. Some popular rides are the Bike Ranch group every Sat morning from FLW and the 101. What part of town?

I work in Scottsdale but have a home in Goodyear. Weekdays I would be riding on the eastside of town and weekends would be the westside.

I highly recommend Fountain Hills for riding. Great roads up in there is you prefer climbing. One road had an 18% gradient for about 500 meters.
