Hey all, I'll be in Oro Valley (north Tucson on Tangerine and Oracle) in a couple of weeks and I wanted to take my mtn bike instead of my road bike this time. Can any of you recommend some trails in the general area that would be similar to DC or T100 please? I know some are 30-40 miles away in the city of Oracle, but I didn't want to drive that far just to get 2 or 3 hours of riding in.

Thanks for the help. :thumbsup:

this is what you want

Catalina State Park, 50 year trail, Golder Ranch area, The "Chutes."

Yeah, Yuri has the spot! It's right in Oro Valley, so your drive will be very short. Be sure to do a trail called "middle gate". Very fun and very pretty. If you're there on a weekend, maybe I could lead you around.

Hey, thanks guys. It's good to know I'll be pretty close to a trail/park that looks like the shiz from the few sites I've found on it. I appreciate the help.

Didn't mean to bump this old thread, but we changed the SDMB site around a bit, so the above link is broken.

Changed: Catalina State Park - The Chutes

Chutes/50 Year/Middlegate

All good suggestions!!!

The Tortolitas have some trails also, there is a Tortolita Loop here that you can download. It starts in Rancho Vistoso and ends on Moore Road. I can send the file to you if you PM your email address.

Catalina State Park-50year is a great route, you are about 1/8 mile from the entrance to Catalina State Park from Tangerine/Oracle.
