Phoenix is, unfortunately, a great place to get creamed by a car.  Bikes get little respect on the roads.\n\nThe Arizona Canal itself and the system of Salt River Project canals run through Scottsdale all the way to Glendale, are worth a look.  It's a smooth trail (decomposed granite), but is NOT paved.  A road bike won't work, but it is nice for running and biking (with a mountain bike or crossover).\n\nThe trails are nice, and go for miles in every direction.  They cut through golf courses and other nice areas.

Without getting into the old Sydney versus Melbourne malarkey. I think that both cities have a real abundance of talent when it comes to horsemanship.

WIll Rogers Downs. It's one of Oklahoma's three horse racing tracks, all of which now have casinos as well. The casino at WIll Rogers Downs is run by Cherokee Casino. The other two are Blue RIbbon Downs, near Sallisaw, and Remington Park in Oklahoma City.

I'm not sure exactly where Reading is, but you might want to check out McConnell's Mills. It's in Portersville and has some good top-roping. Hope this helps.

For any ski area in Lake Tahoe, I recommend the Embassy Suites in South Lake Tahoe. It is on the California side (no casino = no smoke and noise), has an excellent free breakfast every morning, and has free beer and wine each night. The buses for Kirkwood, Sierra, Squaw, etc. stop at the front door, so you are about a half hour from Kirkwood without needing a car. You can walk to the Heavenly Gondola next door. If you like gambling, the casinos are across the street.

It depends on your ability level and the type of terrain you're looking for.  Sunday River in Maine has a wide variety, Killington is huge with lots of parks and a 230 ft superpipe, and loads of bump runs. Jay Peak near the Canadian border is Pow loaded and for the more advanced folks. Stowe is an all time favorite-one beginner hill and another for intermediates/advanced. Killington is the closest to where I live and no matter what the conditions, there are always some good riding because of their incredible snowmaking.

Check out Craigslist.org I wouldn't move downtown. Try to stay anywhere in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley or North Phoenix. Stay North of Bell Rd. if you ask me. There is alot of nice places in the NW part of Phoenix by Arrowhead Lakes as well.

Tempe and Scottsdale are not that far apart from each other, so there should not be any real difference except that Tempe is probably a little less expensive.  Chandler is off in the other direction going south and seems to be away from the action in my opinion.  If you're looking for a place that is unique but still affordable and the cost of living is a little bit less, try Arrowhead Ranch in the Glendale area.  More specifically, look into Arrowhead Lakes where I have my home.  It is one of the few areas in Maricopa County where you can have your own boat on your own private lake with fishing (catch and release), hiking trails nearby, the Loop 101 at your back door and have the prestige of living in a well kept community (Homeowners Association) without the hassles of a gated community.  It is quiet since it's tucked away from the main roads but still close to everything you'd want as far as shopping, malls, businesses, etc.  It's located north of the Loop 101 and is bordered on the west by 59th Ave. and on the east by 51st Ave (which more or less dead-ends into the mountain).  Anyway, that's my input! :)

If you go to a riding stable for a one-hour or afternoon trail ride, you will most likely be riding a horse wearing a Western saddle, who is accustomed to different riders.\n\nMost of the places I visit to do this are fun, because I look for well run, clean barns with well cared for horses and friendly staff.\n\nStay away from any place where the horses look sick and the people are surly.\n\nIf you decide to take riding lessons, some places teach using Western saddles, others use English saddles.  English saddles are smaller, lighter, do not have a saddle horn to hold on to, and you learn to use your legs and your balance to move in rhythm with the horse.\n\nI have taken lessons and leased horses long term.  It's worth the money to go to a well-run place and learn properly.  Then if you want to go for a trail ride, you'll be able to ride at a trot or canter, instead of just a walk.\n\nI always wear a riding helmet.  Even the most experienced riders fall - remember Christopher Reeve?  He was a million times better than I'll ever be.  \n\nAs long as you use common sense and choose your stable carefully, horseback riding is the best fun in the world.
