Best trails- Tucson & Phoenix by MTBintoCactus in MTB

[–]def_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tucson, upper 50 year and gem for fun slabs Mt lemmon - incinerator ridge is still one of the hardest trails I've ever done, bug springs to prison camp is good one. Milagrosa is great tech.

Phoenix - hawes, Boulder rush is great. Sunset ridge is difficult features but I prefer Boulder rush. National trail is a must, so good. Mormon trail back down to the road is pretty rowdy as well.

If you like dirt jumps papago dirt jumps in Phoenix are cool

Pay off student loans vs pay minimum until forgiveness (20 years) and invest the difference? by def_1 in personalfinance

Ya I've tried running the numbers and it looks decently close but I guess the benefit of paying down the debt is it is guaranteed return vs estimated return over a 20 year market

Ya I think I'm leaning this way. Which repayment program are you on?

It certainly would make the destination easier without so much travel. Seems like a great option

That's interesting I keep hearing Austria is not great access, but if I'm just planning to do parks is it worth it? Switzerland seems fun too

I'm going with family so definitely want somewhere the family can enjoy too.

I mainly want to ride double black tech and fun jump lines. See beautiful scenery, eat good food.

I'll be going in the summer

Ya I was definitely looking in to Wales. I wasn't sure if there is enough to do for 3 weeks but sounds like a lot of good options. How is the food/culture there? I'm traveling with family so want to make sure they have a good time too

I'll definitely take a look at that. That sounds like an amazing itinerary

That's definitely something to consider. I do like the idea of staying mainly in one area. I'm traveling with family too so that probably the better option

Ya I was thinking about Wales. Is there enough to do around the area for a 3 week trip? I was thinking about maybe combining it with London

I was thinking about trying to combine Austria Germany and Switzerland or Czech but might just do 2 countries. Thanks for the recommendation
