MountainBiker,
-Camino trip which should be pretty smooth at that time
-From Why take SR86 to I-19 to Nogales
-FS road from SR 82 past Lochiel & over the Huachucas along border to Sierra Vista
-SR 80 to Douglas from Sierra Vista
-SR 191 from Douglas to (camp near Hannagan Meadow and look for wolves) Eager
-SR 260 from Eager to Sedona in time for BA
-Sedona to Jerome, & get on the dirt out of Jerome to Perkinsville rd.
-Perkinsville to Chino Valley
-Outer Loop from Chino to Williamson Valley rd.
-FS road to Bagdad via Camp Wood
-Bagdad to Alamo lake
-Alamo lake to Wenden to I-10 near Quartzsite
Obviously this is just a general outline but it would take you through all kinds of different country, with really impressive elevation changes.
You'd spend a lot of time on pavement but most of it would be pretty rural.
Take it easy,

Thanks for some great ideas! I'll have to take a look at all that on my maps.
Does anyone have a source for better maps than the AAA Arizona State map? Of course I have the GPS, but paper maps are nice, and Topos are usually too small and too detailed for a trip of this magnitude. I'm hoping there is a larger state map with more detail, or sectional maps of Arizona.

I ordered the Gazeteer, thanks! For some reason I had forgotten about that map series.

That's a great idea that Johny had. I was just going to take the S.V. to Lochiel to Nogales trip this week, but passed for a shorter trip near Nogales. I would love to make an expedition for the southeast corner to the southwest corner incompassing a bunch of those trails.
MB if you do this trip, look me up when you hit the S.V section, I'll show ya a couple ok trails that will travel right along the border in the Bisbee/ Douglas area. (actually having a LOST liberty based club run on Sat after thanksgiving if your interested) sounds like a fun trip.
