However, if you're looking for an easy 23.0-mile (37.0 km) road cycling experience with just 583 feet (178 metres) of elevation gain, taking about 1 hour and 33 minutes, this route focuses on the paved sections of the Paseo Pathway and Apache Wash Trailhead areas in Arizona.

What to expect on Paseo Pathway (Paseo Trail) – Apache Wash Trailhead loop from Lone Mountain Ranch
This road cycling route primarily guides you through the accessible, paved sections of two distinct Arizona trail systems. You'll start with the Paseo Pathway in Chandler, a comfortable 10-foot-wide concrete path that follows the Consolidated Canal, offering views of landscaped greenways and city parks. This section is flat and car-free, perfect for a smooth ride. The route then transitions towards the Apache Wash Trailhead area in the Phoenix Sonoran Preserve, where you can enjoy easy paved paths winding through beautiful desert scenery, complete with saguaro cacti and diverse desert plant life. While the full "loop from Lone Mountain Ranch" isn't a cohesive road cycling route, the Arizona segments provide a pleasant, low-effort ride suitable for beginners or those seeking a leisurely outing.
Planning your visit
For the Arizona portions of this route, both the Paseo Pathway and Apache Wash Trailhead offer convenient access. The Paseo Pathway has multiple access points, often with parking and restrooms, and features lighted signals at major road crossings for safety. The Apache Wash Trailhead also provides ample parking, restrooms, and shelters. Given the Arizona climate, the best season for road cycling is typically fall through spring, avoiding the intense heat of summer. Always carry plenty of water, especially during warmer months, and consider riding in the early morning to beat the heat.
