Saturday, November 23rd – Williamson Valley to Granite Basin Lake Loop,We will be celebrating all the hard work our volunteers did over the last year on cleaning up the brush that was encroaching on the trail and the trailhead cleanup as well as christening the new picnic table purchased by BCHCAZ. Come join us for a great ride. In the Saddle by 10:00am. This ride is rated 2.5 for 3 hours. We will ride out south from the trailhead and pick up the 345 at the gate, then ride towards the lake turning left at the 352 connector where we will take a quick break. We will continue up the hill to the 347 and back to the trailhead. There are some challenging rocks and an uphill climb on the 352.
Bring a lunch and a chair for socializing after the ride. Special surprise for those members who worked on the trail the past year! Stay tuned.
Saturday, December 14th – Let’s ride Turkey Creek Sedona! If you’re coming from Prescott area meet at Mortimer Farms at 8:45 and caravan to the Verde Valley School for parking. Otherwise click here for DIRECTIONS. We will ride Turkey Creek and Chip will take anyone who wants to ride the Baldwin Trail loop under Cathedral Rock (optional). Turkey Creek Trail is rated 3. Baldwin Loop will be a 4. Note: If it rains on the night preceding or on the day we will reschedule as the rocks get quite slick and would make the trails difficult. To RSVP or any questions please call Chip Lawrence 208-255-6004. Trailer parking is limited so double up.
Monday, December 30th – Happy New Year ride on State Land from Wendy’s house. This is an easy ride with lots of varied terrain – washes, hills, open meadow, great views of the Chino Valley and San Francisco peaks. Rated 2 for about 2 hours. In the saddle by 10:00 am. We will have barbeque burgers after the ride at Wendy’s house. Cost for lunch is $5. Parking is limited so please trailer pool!
Directions and Parking Info: From Pioneer Parkway travel north on Williamson Valley Road for 9 miles. Turn right on Road 2 South. Follow the dirt road for about .6 miles. Turn left on Solid Rock. Take the 2nd driveway on the right – It is a circle drive that heads towards our barn. Sorry, but all trailers on the circle will be stacked so you’ll have to leave together. If that is full you can park on the right side of solid rock. There is a turn around so it will be easy to get out.
More to follow…. If you have a ride you want to lead, please email us at bchcaz@gmail.com with the info. Thanks.
