Old Pearce

We would be up the creek this month, or perhaps I should say, we would be fat and unhappy, if it was not for our cycling. With the National Forest still closed, and so without riding or hiking, and the temps in the low 100's, it is great we are getting out at 6:30 am every other day and do a ride. We are making progress too: right now we are able to bike 30 miles at 15 mph or so, and are still able to function the remainder of the day.


We are so fortunate to be able to bike on good roads with very little traffic, and encounter courteous drivers when we do get passed. One of our current favorite rides is to Old Pearce, a not-quite ghost town 10 miles away. The ride takes us down country roads except for a 2 mile section of AZ191, and is just the right distance for a regular jaunt.

This is the general store, and the jail.

We used to ride regularly and just loved it. A great way to stay fit without feeling like you have the drudgery of going to the gym to work out. Sounds like a great place to cycle.
