Ghost Bikes is a short mountain biking route on Bureau of Land Management land in the Lake Havasu Field Office in Arizona, about 1.8 miles long with a total elevation gain of 141 feet. The ride starts at roughly 1,091 feet and reaches a high point of about 1,101 feet before descending to a low of about 1,009 feet. The steepest stretch comes at about 0.44 miles in, with a grade of about 5%. The most comfortable months for a ride are typically November and March, when typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 75°F to 77°F and lows in the low 50s. That station sits about 10.6 miles away and roughly 360 feet lower, so temperatures on the route run a little cooler. Several other mountain biking routes lie close by, including Social at about 0.4 miles and Cosmic at about 0.9 miles. Beer Bottle is about 1.2 miles away, and Sonny's Trail, a hike, is about 1.6 miles off.
