Ride will start at 9:30 am. Please arrive early and make sure your bike is all ready to go! Please have all repair supplies with you (C02, stans, bacon strips, etc.) and we highly encourage a cholla comb or tweezer should we brush any cactus! While on the trail, we may encounter deer, coyotes, lizards, and bunnies. Be ready for the beauty of rocky outcroppings and towering saguaros! Be ready for beautiful rocky cut outs, towering saguaros and the feeling of being completely tucked into nature, yet you’re just west of the beautiful downtown Tucson!

This will be an intermediate, no drop ride at a nice leisurely pace.
