Cycling along Tempe Town Lake

This course is meant to be a chill ride circumventing a lot of population. The Phoenix metro area has a descent number of bike paths to ride when you feel like getting out of traffic.

This one starts in N Scottsdale to access the northern part of the Scottsdale Greenbelt. You'll ride the Greenbelt all the way to Tempe where you'll ride along Tempe Town Lake. After the lake, you'll remain on bike trails for most of the ride getting back north. The trails aren't as refined, but are still chill. All in all, it's a nice way to get out and enjoy the Valley of the Sun.
