Looks like I'm taking a mini-vacation in Flag this weekend and I'm bringing my bike. Anybody have any suggestions for some singletrack? I ride a regular old mountain bike, so I'm not interested in any DH, FR, DJ, or urban stuff, just regular old mountain biking. Thanks in advance.

Ride the singletrack around Elden Mountain. Great ride.

You are gonna have a blast. It's been a while since I've been in that neck of the woods, but I remember a couple trail names. Schultz creek is a must ride. I think I rode something called "Little bear"? not sure. Another one I rode was supermoto, not sure if its you cup of tea dude, but less gnarly than SB frontside stuff.

Here's a little bit 'o google research

Sorry about posting the large picture but had to in order to read the print. Here's basically the whole trail system. Schultz and Little Bear are must do. The Waterline Road is closed to traffic. It is higher in elevation with beautiful views, ferns, a tunnel, aspen, etc.

Zark nailed it on the Absolute Bikes link, that's your LBS should you need anything (like some idiot I know who forgot his shoes on a trip up- I'm likin' them though). Be sure and check out the night life, you can catch some decent live music as a rule. The last time we were there we caught a killer afropop band. There's Beaver St. Brewery, Lowell Observatory where Pluto was discovered, and I highly recommend Oreganos for a deep dish pizza with 2 pounds of cheese on it. Clog up those arteries! Man, now I want to go up to Flagstaff.

I did a ride to benefit the food bank up there. I forget the trail, but it was great fun, and soooooo nice to get out of the Phoenix heat!
