Let’s take the long way to Arizona Bike Week together! With the snow melted and the spring flowers in bloom, it will be “smooth riding ahead” on this gorgeous route. The Spring Heat in AZ HOG® Touring Rally will take you from 200’ below sea level at the Salton Sea through several mountain passes. You’ll experience the rough and tumble western frontier and finish your journey at the largest bike event in the West.
