Tortilla Flats AZ - RoadBikeRides.com Featured Ride

 

Last week I had to head up to Phoenix to take care of some business so I decided to take my bike and make a day out of it. There is ride called Tortilla Flats that I have always wanted to do. I have been told by many Phoenix cyclists that it is a must do ride. They were right! IT WAS AWESOME!  The picture above is Apache Junction Road looking northeast heading towards Canyon Lake.

Tortilla Flats bike ride is a beautiful ride in the Superstition Mountain range that takes you past Canyon Lake. This ride is best to do during late fall, winter and early spring. During the warmer months the road is packed with boaters heading to the lake.

Below is the elevation profile of the out and bike ride.

Pictured above is me (Tyler) with Canyon Lake in the background.

Picture above is the Tortilla Flats store. Stop in and get something to drink. They had some burgers cooking that smelled really good.

Being spring there were wildflowers everywhere. It was the perfect day for a bike ride.
