I'm looking for as much climbing as I can. Not stupid hike a bike ****. But suffering climbs.

3 days. As much of the climbing in Flag thats open this weekend. Around 4 hours overall per day. I like downhills so that I can start the next climb. And any of the best DH that are legally 2 way, I want to ride up them first.

Vanlife so im mobile. Whats the best dirtbag camping spot relative to these rides also.

Looks like I can park at the flagstaff mall and ride to the AZT and climb for awhile. Take some sunset trail over to the heart trail. Probably climb to the top of mt elden rd and then do sunset to heart. Thats one day.

Then I want to ride the azt by San Fran peaks it looks like.

One loop on trailforks is called around the mountain is there any rides "over" the mountain?

¿Lo quien es mas macho? ¡LDC es mas macho!

Los Buenos Ups, in no particular order:
Heart is hard
Little Bear is good
ELO Rd is fine
L Brookbank is toast
U Brookbank is blasted and hard
Climb 3 is what it is
Coyote Rd is better
L Weenies is lovely
U Weenies is hard
U. Red Onion is likewise toast
Little Gnarly is cake
U Dogfood is chicaney
E Secret is mostly traverse
Twisted Sister (W Secret) is good
Snowhole Rd is foyn smoof butta
GT Tr. is a waste of time and space
Friedlein Pr. Rd. is what it is
Weatherford Tr is good
Old Weatherford Rd is rutted chunk
[email protected] to Alfa Fia is fine, to 418 is long

El Mas Macho Loop:
Up Heart, down U. Brookbank, up Little Bear, down Sunset, up Climb 3, up Hobbits, down Heart has been done in your ideal timeframe and just might crumble your cookie. Dont forget to start your Strava!

Check out the Aspen Asphyxiation route, there's day 2. BOOM! If you finish I'll offer some ideas for day 3.

First I gotta make it from Anthem to Flag in my bus lol. Insane headwind leaving anthem up i17.

I'll probably do a azt sunset heart loop today for warmup. Thanks for the suggestions.

Yes, on i17 🤣. My bus wasn't feeling that one. I went to Sedona because I coasted down the hill to the Cornville exit.

Im coming back in my van. I had to take the bus back to Tucson, and get my van and offroad camper.
