Event Description
The Sonoran Desert, north of Tucson, will be a gorgeous setting for an awesome bike ride through the San Tan Catalina Mountains into Sabino and Bear Canyons which have been hidden from any motorized vehicle since 1978. The 35 mile road ride will challenge your "everything" while you climb into Bear Canyon from Sabino Canyon. Depending upon the weather, there are 9 water falls cascading over the desert. The vistas are breathtaking and the views make every hill worth the effort.
This is Not a ride for the beginner cyclist; but for the advanced rider
This is a SAG supported bike ride, That will keep you energized throughout the ride.
