Bike Prescott Safe Group-Riding Guidelines (predictability is the key to safety)

Riders must wear a helmet. Taillights strongly suggested. Mirrors and brightly-colored clothing may help you see and be seen.
Riders must carry emergency contact information.
Do not wear anything in your ears that prevents you from hearing what is going on around you.
Riders must obey traffic laws.
Understand how to safely navigate various traffic configurations and turns. Refer to the Arizona Bicycling Street Smarts Manual. Here’s the link:

http://www.azbikeped.org/bicycling-street-smarts.asp

Ride single-file and stay to the right except when road conditions allow.
Don’t bunch up at traffic lights (creates traffic confusion).
As a general rule, pass other riders on their left. Say “on your left”. If for some reason you decide to pass on someone’s right, call out: “On your right”.
Point out hazards and route turns verbally and/or with hand signals.
Keep together as a unit as much as possible at intersections. (“One larger thing” is more visible and less confusing to cars than “smaller separate things.”)
Riders who want to be dropped or go off on their own must tell someone.

Wed, Jul 2, 2025, 7:00 AM MSTTour de Wednesday: Loops From Pioneer Parkway Trailhead
Needs location
With a monsoon-like day in the forecast I wanted to list a ride that stays close to town. This NEW ROUTE expands on one created by Bike Prescott's most creative route-meister, Shirley Schoberg-Hebda. It includes two loops that start from the new trailhead on Pioneer Parkway. The rides is 45 miles with 3100' of climbing. Park at the trailhead parking lot on the north side of Pioneer Parkway midway between Williamson Valley Road and the Commerce St traffic circle.

The Tour de Wednesdays is a challenging ride. The pace is brisk and there are limited stops. Pace varies to suit each week's participants and similarly paced riders ride together. Join us!

Thu, Jul 3, 2025, 7:00 AM MSTThursday MTB Series — Short and Fun!
North Peavine Trailhead , Prescott , AZ
July 3rd looks to be on the warm side, so we’ll start early and keep it short for this fun mountain bike ride with some interesting features.

Starting at the North Peavine Trailhead, we’ll head south and turn left onto the singletrack Headwaters Trail. Our next turn will be right onto the double track powerline Trail, and at the Y we’ll take a left onto Eagle Trail, then keep right on Red Tail. Red Tail sweeps down to a deep ravine with fairly steep switchbacks that are definitely rideable. From here, we head back to the Peavine and ride south to the Hobbit Trail. On the Hobbit, we’ll take a short 1 mile loop I’ll call the Little Hobbit Loop. It has everything — some brief stretches of boulders, some Little Red Riding Hood woods, grasslands, a short boulder section (that we’ll walk over), a cool ridge, and a log rollover. This is a delightful and fun little loop. We’ll take a left off this loop and go visit the Hobbit tunnel. Then, it’s back to our start with the wind at our backs, heading north on the Peavine. In all, it’s 10.59 miles and 659 feet of elevation. I would advise bringing a mountain bike or an e-bike for this one. Casual pace, easy ride. Helmets are required.

Thu, Jul 3, 2025, 8:00 AM MSTThursday Fun Ride to Paulden
Memory Park, Chino Valley, AZ
We'll start at Memory Park in Chino Valley, take Road 3 across Hwy 89 to Rd 1 East. At Rd 4 N, we will go to Hwy 89 and follow 89 to Old Hwy 89 then to the Depot 89 Marketplace which is our turnaround point. (FYI, we ride for 3 miles on 89 in each direction. There is a wide shoulder, with fast-moving traffic on 89.) Return the same way with a right on Rd 5 N to return to the park on Rd 1 West. Total mileage approx. 18 miles, elevation gain 450', mostly on the return. Optional additional mileage by riding the Yuma rollers. All of the ride is on pavement.

The Thursday Fun Rides are a series of road rides designed for the less experienced rider and anyone who may want a less challenging ride. Most rides will be 15-20 miles in length and as flat as we can make them given Prescott's surroundings. Pace is expected to be in the 12+ mph range, and we will ride at the pace of the slowest rider. Regroups and stops as needed. HELMETS REQUIRED, LIGHTS RECOMMENDED. Guests are welcome. However Bike Prescott insurance covers club members only. To become a member join us at Bike Prescott.
