I did my regular mountain bike ride on Saturday and on Sunday I had a Canal ride planned. however, I've had Reach 11 on my radar for a while. I didn't know much about it, but I would see the trail head off of Cave Creek every time I drove out to Apache Wash trail head. I also noticed the trail off to the side where the 101 and 51 intersect and I thought I need to check this out sometime. I chose to go check this out rather than the canal. I was also hoping I could get more than 3-4 miles out of it, I wasn't sure if everything connected up. I managed to get 17.6 miles

I entered off of Cave Creek and I rode out to Tatum, crossed Tatum, did a big loop out to Scottsdale road and back. At Tatum then I made another loop back over somewhere near the 51, from there I just double backed up to Cave Creek. There is a cool area of tree tunnel lined trail near some water in there too.

This is easy going riding, but I had a lot of fun out here. If there is ever anyone out there who was new at mountain biking this would be the place to go, its wide, fairly smooth, and no elevation gain at all really. Would be a good place to start. Also, would be a good place to go if you had a gravel/CX bike.
