Rides in Palm Desert area?

A client of mine is going to be in Palm Desert, CA for a week and wants to know where to ride while there. If you’ve been there and don’t mind giving some tips on good roads or routes and any bad roads to avoid it’d be greatly appreciated. Even better, do you know of any good group rides?
Thanks

Saturday Group Ride: Meets at Palm Desert Civic Center 7:30?? (call local bike store to find exact time and location) Two groups one is about 2 hours the other is about 3 hours the longer one goes up 1000 Palms and is much harder…

As for rides my favorite:
Palm Desert to Box Canyon Via Thermal 6+ Hours
Road Conditions are nice heading out from PD through La Quinta and out to Salt and Sea nice bike lanes light traffic.
