Superior, Winkleman, Globe triangle - By Guest

1st time making this triangle and really disappointed I didn't do it years ago. Phenominal views, geology and winding roads in great condition tell you why you ride. The Copper Mine outside of Kearny is staggering in size...6 miles along the road and 1 mile deep in places rivals parts of Grand Canyon! Great vista point to see most of it on the east side. The only fuel stop on the way before Winkleman is "downtown" Kearny and has a surprising grocery store attached with a great deli that makes their own pastries! Eats are mainly in Globe/Miami with Jerry's a common breakfast stop. Miami has a surprising antigues street worth a stop if you are so inclined. Los Hermandos in Superior should be avoided at all costs! Cockroaches in the bathroom, marginal food, slow wait staff and an odd smell. Seems to not bother the "natives" though, go figure! This triangle has it all.. 10% grades, long and winding roads, stunning vistas and even a patch of European riding thru a tunnel and then a narrow bridge over Queen Creek.
