It was supposed to get up into the mid 90s today, so I decided to take a ride to the mountains and soak up some cool riding weather before it starts getting cold.

The route was Phoenix->Payson->Camp Verde and then back to Phoenix on the slab. It was about 250 miles of fun. Not much traffic on the back roads and even the dash home on I-17 was pleasant.



Leaving Payson and headed for Strawberry. I grabbed the lanyard cam and took some pics Ferret style!



Stopped along the road for a leg stretch and the obligatory CB11 photo op.



Descending out of the high country into the Verde River valley.



It was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

BTW, I made two gas stops and got a "What year is that?" each time.

Sounds like a great day, and great pics as well. Will trade some high 40's lower 50's for some of your high 80's, low 90's.. Just looked it up, we had 7 days in the 90s this year and our highest was 95.

That is such beautiful country to ride in. Great pics.

+1...looks like a wonderful place to ride.

Brrrrrr! I'll pass on that trade. It was 95 by the time I rolled back into town in the afternoon. That's makes it the coolest day we've had all week.

Good ride. Good road and great scenery. Fantastic.

Cheers

Looks like good riding, Flyn.

I didn't expect to see so many trees in your pics. That is an area I am considering moving to after I get done with school. Seeing trees reaffirms I should check it out.

Once you get above 5k ft., you pretty much find typical pine forests. On this route, that would be from Payson to just before Camp Verde.
