want to rent a mountain bike in phoenix and my girlfriend is new to phoenix, do you know where I could get hooked up? She has only biked on South Mountain, are there better places?
I can help out if you don't mind. Depends on what type of mtn biking you want to do and how far you want to travel. South mtn is OK but most trails are kind of rocky (Desert Classic) others can be very technical (Javelina trail). McDowell mtn park is a long drive if you are in the south valley but has great trails from a 16 mile single track loop (Pemperton) to a 3 mile competitive loop. There is also 4 mile sport loop (easy and smooth) and a 8 mile intermediate loop. One other place is Papago park, but there are a lot of trail running around, and not a defined bike course. Let me know if you want/need more info, in fact I typically ride with a small group almost every Sunday.
