Any time someone wants to ride 191 or 89A just post it on the southwest form section if you want some company. Some of us live for those rides in the summer.

 

We have 7 of us riding from Florida to AZ next weekend and should be there the Monday after Easter. If any of you Arizona guys want to ride with us while we are there we will be riding every day for the next 8 days in your great state and would love to meet more of you. PM me if you are interested and we will make arrangements to get together.

 

my first time up the Apache Trail was 1966 , my dad drove us up in our '64 Mercury 4 door . i see they haven't changed it much !

i was in Jerome about 20 years ago , lots of small businesses , artists , craftspeople etc. running stores there then . is it still the same or has it gone back to being a ghost town again ?

I rode out to Jerome last fall with some friends. I don't think it's changed much in the past 20 years. It's still a lot of small businesses, artists, and craftspeople. but if you do go again soon, I highly suggest stopping at Haunted Hamburger for a bite to eat. Ask to sit on the second floor. The view is spectacular.

 

OH, and the ride out there is still fun. And a big Thank You to Suzy for taking pic's off the back of the bike she was on.

 

Would this be a ride that is Doable from Vegas if i rent a bike?...I will be there this weekend and have Monday as a free day....

 

I love the ride from Kingman through Oatman across to R66.
If you're bold enough you can do an extra, awesome, 8 miles across the Dutch Flats.

 

That would be a LONG trip. You're looking at riding highway for 4 hours just to get to the beginning, then an hour or so (depending on how much time you spend in Jerome) to go from Prescott to Jerome and back, then 4 hours to get back to Vegas. You might want to consider doing the longest continuous stretch of Route 66 instead. It goes from Topock to Seligman through Oatman, Kingman, and Peach springs. When you're done you could just shoot back to Vegas on the 40 and that would take up a lot less time than getting to Jerome.

 

i live in dewey and ride these rodes alot.

 

I can see Jerome from my living room to the left, and Sedona to the right... No rides today. I'm surrounded in snow. 35 degrees and major gusts.
