David: I've done some riding in the Coachella Valley when I stayed in Palm Springs for work. My favorite ride was to climb to the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway and then ride the tram to the top. The climb from the highway to the tram station is challenging--it's a steady grind that climbs some 1,500 feet as I recall.
At the tram station, get the "Ride and Dine" pass ($36, and available at http://pstramway.com/tickets.html), which gets you a round trip ticket to the top and a meal in the cafeteria in the station on the mountain. If you time your ride correctly, you can be at the top as the sun is setting and the lights are coming on in the valley below. It's quite beautiful (but be prepared for cold at the top). Once you get back down on the tram, you can coast almost all the way back to Palm Springs or Palm Desert. --Eric N Sent from my iPad2 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
