Spoke is a moderate mountain biking route on Bureau of Land Management land in Arizona, within the Lake Havasu Field Office. The ride covers about 6 miles out and back, with a total elevation gain of 625 feet from a starting point near 840 feet. The route reaches a high of about 970 feet, and the steepest section comes around the 2.1-mile mark, with a 10% grade. The cooler months are the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Lake Havasu City show March highs around 78°F and November highs around 75°F, while summer highs climb into the 100s. That station sits about 520 feet lower than the route's high point, so temperatures on the climb run cooler. The trail sits close to other riding and hiking. Naked Man Trail is about 0.1 mile away, Sonny's Trail about 0.2 mile, and the Beer Bottle and Pilot Rock Trail are both within a mile.
