May 2022 - Circle Trail Birthdays Ride

10 Joined us to celebrate Michael turning 60 and Noah

turning 15! We met at am at the trailhead down the hill from the Willow Creek Dog park here:

We rode the Prescott Circle Trail in a counter-clockwise direction, headed north from the trailhead. Michael and others rode the complete Circle Trail, 56.25 miles and 6000 feet of climbing. Others of us just rode a portion.

Here were the directions for others who considered joining us:

Feel free to coordinate with others in the group to park a car at another trail head if you don't plan to ride the entire Circle trail loop. Also, you could ride out a ways, and back to the Willow Creek Dog Park trailhead, which I think many will choose to do. E-bikes are allowed on all City of Prescott trails, so if you ride an e-bike, you can ride to Williamson Valley Road and back if you like. That segment is about 7 miles one way. For those not on e-bikes, you could continue on to Granite Basin Road, Iron Springs Road, Thumb Butte Road, Hwy 89 at White Spar Campground, Senator Highway, or In-N-Out Burger for distances of 12, 14, 19, 25, 30, 35, or 48 miles respectively.

All are welcome, men, women, and children of all ages!!!
