I don't spend a lot of time on the MUP, but with the construction on Oracle Road north of Tangerine I had found it to be a safe way to get to good riding areas. Trouble is an increasing incidence of some belligerent ******** who insist on walking their dogs off-leash. Anyone else experienced this?

I'm awfully tempted to just let the jerkoffs have the path. I don't want to be the guy who hits a dog.

I ride the Loop a lot, specifically to commute to work and it is part of my route to Mt. Lemmon. Some parts are empty while others have a lot of peds. Stuff happens.

Ride that area regularly and the construction on Oracle Rd north of Catalina State Park is progressing OK but still not good to ride. Last time I rode in the construction zone had 2 flats. Have only encountered this 2 loose non-leashed dogs on the MUP in the Tangerine area this year.

From your picture in the Prescott thread, I have seen you on the road.
