SUMMARY:Belgian Waffle Ride AZ
DESCRIPTION:2024 Belgian Waffle Ride Arizona \nMarch 1 – 2\, 2024 \nWelkom to the first stop of the Belgian Waffle Ride Tripel Crown of Gravel… \nThe Second Annual Belgian Waffle Ride Arizona is something we cannot wait to share with you. It’ll be a unique desert and mountain experience\, which will be known at the Hell of the North Desert. Here is a snapshot of information about the event and what to expect… \nBUT\, THERE ARE ONLY 1\,000 SPOTS THIS YEAR! \nThere is a formula to the creation of each new Belgian Waffle Ride\, and this year’s first BWR and the kick-off to the Tripel Crown of Gravel\, is the newest manifestation of this formula. The BWR AZ\, which will take place in Cave Creek\, Arizona\, on the fringes of the Valley of the Sun\, embodies the three ingredients that make the BWR so special. 1) A dream destination\, 2) varied terrain to accommodate an extremely dynamic racecourse\, and 3) a cycling community that is both vibrant and desirous of the Unroad experience only the BWR can offer. \n1) Located in the heart of the Sonoran Desert\, on the fringes of North Scottsdale\, the BWR AZ will start and finish at Stagecoach Village in Cave Creek and take in a seamless connection of beautiful desert and varied challenging terrain with breathtaking views and near-perfect riding conditions. The area enjoys over 300 days of sunshine and incredible scenery\, with conditions that are perfect for exhilarating Unroad riding\, including crushing climbs to beautiful views of the surrounding desert. The destination is a picture-perfect town in the desert foothills that brings together history\, culture\, and nature in a unique atmosphere. The downtown area has plenty to offer the entire family\, and the city is surrounded by many other destinations that you don’t want to miss out on. \n2) The topography\, transitioning from the verdant riparian environment along the Salt River to the foothills of the McDowell Mountains\, will offer towering saguaro cactus standing sentry against a backdrop of made-to-order sunsets. The springtime temperatures will nurture an array of stunning wildflowers among an ocean of vibrant green cacti and remain mild enough for riders to enjoy the full day of riding. The BWR AZ will bring along technical Unroads punctuated by pristine tarmac in the outskirts of Scottsdale. The course in and around Cave Creek will boast a fantastic concoction of terrible terrain\, including pitchy undulations in Carefree\, Tonto Forest mountains & washes\, Rio Verde\, sinuous single-track in McDowell Mountain Regional Park & its Sonoran Preserve\, and smooth roads connecting gravel sectors completely unique to this desert playground. The dynamic nature of the course\, which at roughly 122-miles is less than the usual BWR\, will surely devastate even the most well-trained professional gravelleurs by its finale – a series of steep\, paved climbs with pitches of 20%. How do you say\, “Ouchie\,” in Flemish. Oh yeah\, it’s AUW! Kind of like\, WTF! \n3) And then there is the third and final ingredient – a vibrant cycling community. Not only has the area been designated one of only 35 gold-level bicycle-friendly communities in the US\, with its safe accommodations\, miles of designated bike lanes\, and\, of course\, a plethora of trails to explore – both urban and desert – it has an extensive network of cycling teams\, enthusiasts\, and every type of bike shop to support them. This Sonoran Desert locale is the most diverse desert in the world\, offering amazing views along the rocky mountain ranges that surround it. No wonder this destination has become home to such an active and enthusiastic bike community. \nHere is the 2023 Course Information: \nWAFFLE- \nhttps://ridewithgps.com/routes/42090710 \n122-Miles/196-Kilometers \n~9\,000 Feet of Climbing \n8 Unroad sectors (the rest is road\, dirt\, gravel) \n50% Unroad (Long\, Sandy\, Wet or Dry\, Rocky\, Hilly\, Ugly) \nNumerous Washes\, Water Crossings or Foot Bridges \n3 Queen/King of the Mountain segments \n3 Queen/King of the Dirt segments \n3 Queen/King of the Sprint segments \n7 Feed Zones \nWAFER – \nhttps://ridewithgps.com/routes/42003808 \n79-Miles/127-Kilometers \n~5\,600 Feet of Climbing \nSeveral Unroad sectors (the rest is really nice road) \n40% Unroad (Long\, Sandy\, Wet or Dry\, Rocky\, Hilly\, Ugly) \nNumerous Washes\, Water Crossings or Foot Bridges \n4 Feed Zones \nWANNA – \nhttps://ridewithgps.com/routes/42090863 \n37-Miles/60-Kilometers \n~3\,700 Feet of Climbing \n1 long Unroad sector (the rest is really nice road) \n25% Unroad (Long\, Sandy\, Wet or Dry\, Rocky\, Hilly\, Ugly) \nNumerous Washes\, Water Crossings or Foot Bridges \n2 Feed Zones

SUMMARY:LOVE OUR CITY 2024 Tucson Refugee HQ Bike Assembly Event
DESCRIPTION:Old Pueblo MTB has done a couple of these Bike Builds now\, and word has gotten out that we’ve been amazing.\n\nLast year 2023 & in 2022 we assembled a teams to put together 115 bikes that were donated by Jim Click\, The Conquistadors & El Tour De Tucson for a big city wide event getting 500 new bikes into the community for families in need. We had some of the best mechanics and helpful hands OPMTB has to offer who just killed the assembly in record time.\n\n\n\nThis time Tucson Refugee Ministry needs our help. They received a grant to get 100 Bikes they can give to Adult Refugees here in Tucson in their system\, much needed transportation. These Bikes will help these Refugees get back on their feet\, give them transportation to get to Jobs & Schooling.\n\nThis Saturday – March 2nd\, 2024 we’ll just be assembling half of them… or about 50 bikes. Based on our experience\, and with about 12-15 “mechanics” and the support help we’ve already lined up\, we expect that to go quickly.\n\nWe’re looking for 12-15 “Skilled” Bike assembly mechanics to help for a few hours. We’d love to have you on the team if you have some basic tools you can bring and want to be apart of assembling these bikes. Please speak up here if you’d like to be on the team again\, or for the first time.\n\nSECONDARY OPPORTUNITY\nALSO AVAILABLE TO HELP ::: we’ll be doing a “Flat Repair Clinic” at 1:00pm to teach some of these new bike owners how to fix a flat with the appropriate repair kits they are going to receive. If this is something you want to help with this would be from 1:00pm – 3:00pm.\n\nike build\nLUNCH IS INCLUDED !
