Are there any bike tours of the desert or mountains that are good?
Motorcycle or Bicycle? Dirt or Street?
And here's a motorcycle tour my husband recommends if you want to try it:

LMAO. Yeah, my husband made that list so that we'd always have "date" options![]()



If you are on a road bike, Tucson is one of the most bike friendly cities in the country. My favorite quickie workout ride is the 8 mile loop around Saguaro National Park, East Unit. For more info see: http://www.nps.gov/sagu/ If you are hardcore climber, consider heading up Mt. Lemmon Highway. Snow will be a problem after about five or six miles, but those miles will be some serious uphill (Lance Armstrong used to train on Mt. Lemmon).
If you are on a mountain bike, THE BEST local trail is Fantasy Island, which starts at the intersection of Irvington and Harrison Road. FI has about 20 miles of looped single track that curves, dips and cuts through cactus and mesquite studded desert terrain. You can get a trail map at any local bike shop.
It will still be pretty chilly in the mornings, but should be in the 60s by the afternoon this week, with no rain expected. Enjoy!
