Those of you that read Kevin and Mary's ride report from their Mexico and Arizona trip read our references to the Cutoff (AZ-97). This is a 13 mile highway that runs from US-93 to AZ-96 about 45 miles north of Wickenburg, AZ. When Kevin and Mary made it here for a couple of days of riding I met them at the gas station to take them to their camp site at the Santa Maria river. I asked Kevin what he thought of the drive in, He got a big grin and said that is a motorcycle road.
They had just spent several boring hours of flat straight highways and after a 5 mile 6% climb to their turn towards Bagdad. This is the road that gave them a taste of the next 2 days of riding.
For some reason YouTube cut about 2 minutes off of the end. You get the general idea anyway.
Note: All traffic laws were strictly adhered to in the making of this video. Any appearance of excessive speed is simply an illusion or video trickery.
