Saguaro National Park East is a pretty cool place. Derek and I ride the loop out to it and then do a lap or two of the park and it makes for a great road ride. The road loop...
Torrey Pines Hike
Beach Day! Derek and I used to ride up and down the coast a lot when we lived in San Diego. One of the good hill climb days would be to ride up through Torrey Pines Preserve and Mt....
Camp Verde Petroglyphs
