Ride Description:
This is a full Loop that recurs every two weeks. We will make a brief stop for coffee at Decibel Coffee House at the 35-mile point. We will be treated to views of four different mountain ranges as well as the Tucson skyline along the way.

This ride will start near Ren Coffee House in St. Phillips Plaza.

Stops will be minimal but we will regroup at several announced spots. This ride is about gaining some fitness, and of course spending time with new and old friends. It will be limited to ten persons.
