Superstition Mountains "Biathlon" Hike & Bike

Take the above hike, reverse with a variation and ride your bike for the shuttle and you have a Supes "Biathlon"

This adventure circumvents the entire Superstition Mountains and is comprised of a 12 -mile (1,700 ft AEC) hike, then a 21-mile (700 ft AEC) ride! First we dropped the bikes off at First Water TH and then we drove around to Lost Goldmine TH, on the Peralta Rd, were we started the hike. We hiked up the road a short way to the Peralta TH, then went in on the Bluffs Spring Trail, to Terrapin and came out on the Dutchman's Trail to our waiting bikes. We dropped the packs at the car and rode out, going down the First Water dirt road until reaching the paved Apache Trail Rd. Next we went to Mtn View Rd, which is dirt for a bit before becoming paved to its intersection with US60. Riding up the shoulder of US60 to Peralta Rd began the gradual ascent. Once at Peralta Rd, the final leg was dirt and uphill. A great adventure that took us about 8 hours.
