Search for a trail you would like to ride in the Tucson area and I will try it.
I found an interesting area south of Tucson. It’s a Titan missile Museum next to some Green Valley trails free camping across the freeway at a casino I think I’ll try that first. You do need to sign up for a free permit to ride the area but you can do it online.

If it's Fantasy Island, by all means, do it.

Thank you guys for the time to research.
I had more of you pick a trail you would love to ride and I would try it for you.
After the green Valley trails I might try fantasy inland for Ray. They have in the past complained about car break ins there but I do have a more stealth vehicle. Then the golder ranch area cuz you can camp on the trail and I can do the honey bee stuff from there. I can’t find the sopori trail south off hwy 83. So I guess that should be a good place to look for I will ask about it at a local bike shop.
Then on my way home I will do some AZ trail up by gold mine and tie them together cuz parking is bad so I can ride into the area.

Hey Tom, sorry the Sopori trails are off I-19 not Hwy 83. Lots of stuff out there that is not on the map. These are fun trails.

Thanks evdog. That’s pretty far south with a little elevation gain so temps might drop a few degrees but I will check it out.

T, Fantasy Island has very little climbing, but the trails layout there reminded me strongly of a Sonoran desert version of our old Flightline. On that postage size parcel of land, I put in a twenty mile ride on my single speed, and was not really tired out at all. Just a lotta fun and trail-art. Very positive vibe, but then again this was over a decade ago that I was regularly tripping to Tucson.
