I don't know where an appropriate place is to post this so since riding is my religion ...

I'm from SoCal, but I moved to Bum-#U@% nowhere Arizona about 9 months ago. I miss the time to get diagonal in the canyons. It's not that there's no time anymore, but it takes forever to get to the good roads out here! ...I've got one legitimately stupid-twisty road (88 to just past Tortilla Flats) within a mornings ride, but it's an all day affair to get to any other. I put on 1500 - 2500 miles give or take a month so it's not that I'm against riding, but I can't just hit the Ortega or Palms to Pines or Palomar before I get my day started like I'm used to. This truly is the desert... If there's anyone from AZ (near mesa) who's got suggestions, ...

What about tracks? Land must be cheap, so you can build your own; at least a supermoto/kart track.
