RACECATION: CACTUS CUP SECRETS
DESTINATION RACES ARE RAD. Traveling someplace new, experiencing the vibe and culture adds a to the adventure. If we're lucky, or good planners...
... we can stay longer.
Weeks, if possible.
Arriving plenty early, staying after...
- jet lag
- course familiarization
- breaking free of the grind and routines
... has myriad benefits.
Here's what I can tell ya about Cactus Cup/BWR AZ
Hotels are sparse...
... get an airbnb.
If you're vanning it...
... camping at McDowell is ideal, but it sells out super early.
I prefer to boondock it in town,
found an open field between two churches that's ideal.
There are bathrooms and showers at McDowell for day use...
... the Pemberton facility is better than the Sport Loop one.
Food...
- DB Bagel Cafe has a good breakfast selection
- Filibertos for Mex is ok, better than most
- Sapori D' Italia is fantastic Italian
... not a lot of choices.
Riding...
- McDowell
- Brown's
- Hawes
- Prescott and Sedona 2 hours away
... is so good, and different from our normal.
Work...
- I live at Starbucks
- Skylink is on the list
- Be super efficient and get outside
... if camping or vanning.
Distilling it down...
- AirBnB
- Sapori D'Italia
- Excellent riding
... the dessert in the winter has a vibe worth tapping into.
