    Rode that route many times over the years on two wheels, but I don't think I've ever done it on the Spyder. Enjoy!!

    Just not going past Tortilla Flat as Apache Trail turns into a gravel road on its way to Roosevelt Lake..Gravel no good for Spyder

    Always though that would be a nice ride when we went to visit our son when he was going to ASU.

    I live about 25 miles from Tortilla Flat. Your route will take you within about 3 miles of my home The road is closed beyond Tortilla due to the wildfires last spring. There were some landslides caused by lots of rain after the fire. Last I heard it was still closed but you can still get to Tortilla. The road surface was redone last year and is now very good. It's a great little ride on either 2 or 3 wheels. Enjoy..... Jim

    You picked a great day for it. Did that ride twice this year, and it's been great. If you have the time ride to the salt lake cayion some time. It's like a mini grand canyon. The turn off is just past Globe, and it's before Slow Low.

    Today was a great day to ride in Arizona. Went from Mesa through Superior, Winkleman and to San Manuel for Mexican lunch (BURP). Than to Globe, (Ice Cream, BLOAT ), Superior and back to Mesa. A bit more than 200 miles. We had 2 Spyders, a couple of HDs, 2 GWs, and A few GW trikes. I like Tortilla Flat a lot but it is too close for a day ride. But there are times when it fits the agenda..... Jim
