Featuring a 36 Mile point to point course, the Prickly Pedal starts in Cave Creek in front of the Flat Tire Bike Shop, 6032 E Cave Creek Rd, Cave Creek, AZ 85331, and rides up through town to Spur Cross where you’ll join the Maricopa Trail all the way over to the finish line at Lake Pleasant Regional Park’s 10 Lane Boat Ramp. The event showcases the diversity of the Maricopa Trail and supports the Maricopa Trail and Park Foundation. Aggressive ascents and descents, grinding it out on the flats, rocks, water, sand, mud, and roller coaster runs are all part of the fun of this challenging course.
Besides being a challenging, exciting, fun race, why does the Prickly Pedal exist? To pour every dollar of race revenue into efforts that will add more pristine miles of Maricopa Trail for riders to enjoy. MT+PF envisions this event evolving into a world class, multi-day, endurance stage mountain bike race, drawing thousands of fans to the desert southwest.
The ride features numerous short, steep, rocky climbs and descents…some of which will require you to dismount and hike. This is not a race for the inexperienced – finish times for most racers are estimated at 3-4 hours. Be prepared for a long day in the saddle. This is a tough mountain bike race.
Camping at Lake Pleasant
We have reserved two of the group camping sites just down the road from the finish line at Lane 10 Boat Ramp. Camping info is below.
No hook ups for Rv’s, however RV’s are welcome in the area. (Dump station is across the way). Tents and vehicle camping is ok.
Individual fires will not be allowed, there is a large fire pit by the ramada’s for use. (unless we are in a fire ban).
Water and 110 amp electricity is available, however is shared (these are located at the picnic ramada’s).
Flushable Restrooms and Showers are located in both areas, however will be shared with all group campers, including the 3rd group site which is not our racers.
There will be limited distance between campers, this will be based on the total number of campers. We do have a overflow area also reserved should we reach capacity.
We will assign camping spaces based on how many and what type of units make reservations. We will communicate these assignments during race week.
Camping Fee is $22.00 per night per unit. (A unit is whatever is used to sleep in, this would include a sleeping bag on the ground, tent, vehicle or RV). You can purchase a camping space on the merchandise page.
