In times past a stagecoach route through the Superstition Mountains, it is named after the Apache Indians who once used this trail to move through the Mountains. The route has some hills & lots of grade changes but its also a fairly easy ride that should be within the realms of most riders. |

| SkyRideLocal - Ride Well. This mainly road route is suitable for all bike types. For a Ride Well we are aiming for a pace of 9-10 mph. This is a scenic route that offers some challenge at times with several short, and a couple of steep, hill sections. Riders will therefore need 3-5+ selectable gears. Such rides are judged suitable only for ages from 11 upwards (11-15 with, and supervised by, adults). The estimated ride length is 2.5hrs including stop(s). This route avoids the off road section of Shire Lane and the steps down from the Ebury Way on the original route adding another 2 miles making 22. |
