SUMMARY:Picketpost Punisher  - Arizona Endurance Series
DESCRIPTION:Picketpost Punisher\n\n \nWhen:\nNovember 15\, 2025\nThe B (49 miles) and C (22 miles) routes will start at 7:30am. The A route (76 miles) will start at 5am. \nWhere:\nYou will  start at the Picketpost trail head off of Route 60 near Superior\, Arizona. This is about 60 miles east of Phoenix and about 5 miles west of Superior. If you pass the Boyce Thompson Arboretum\, you’ve missed the trailhead turnoff. You can get directions to the start here. \nThe trailhead has pit toilets\, but no water. Also no trash receptacles – pack it in\, pack it out. \nCamping is NOT allowed at the trailhead. There are however\,  a bunch of places to primitive camp beside the road that leads to the trailhead. \nWhat:\nThe Punisher will once again be split into 3 different lengths so that you can choose the amount of punishment you deserve. Make sure you review the GPS files. \nThe C ride will be the shortest AES ride ever. A measly 22 miles and about 2300 feet of climbing. In place of FR4\, you’ll get to ride new trails in Arnett Canyon. The route will climb on dirt roads part of the way up Montana Mountain. The descent back down will be on the Arizona Trail back to the Picketpost trailhead. Easy peasy. \nThe B ride is heading south this year. It is actually a subset of one of the previous year’s A route – without crossing the Gila River. You will head south on the Arizona Trail to FR4\, then turn south on FR4 (it is not closed in this area). You’ll climb up on the ever lovely Telegraph Canyon road\, then down\, past Ajax Mine to Box Canyon. There will be a hard left to get you over to Martinez Canyon. After traversing the “brass knuckles” you’ll end up at the Gila River not far from the Arizona Trail. Filter water at the river\, then head north to the AZT – all the way back to Picket Post. \nThe B ride has an opportunity for a time bonus. You’ll notice a little additional part of the route in Box Canyon. This goes to a section where the canyon gets very narrow – really cool to see. This is an out and back of about 3.75 miles. Do this and take a selfie. Your selfie\, along with your GPS track\, will get you an hour deducted from overall time. \nThe A ride (aka: The Pulverizer) will be the same stroll in the park as last year. You’ll begin by heading south on AZT down to the Gila River. You’ll cross the river (good chance to filter water) and start climbing to Florence-Kelvin Highway. You’ll then bomb down that dirt road all the way to Kelvin Bridge. From there it is AZT all the way back to the start. \nREAD THIS IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT DOING THE A RIDE:\nThe A ride is a seriously difficult ride. It is only for very experienced and capable back country endurance cyclists.  One of your sources of water is the Gila River – and that needs to be filtered. If you cannot meet the following criteria\, don’t even bother: \n1. You must have a GPS and know how to use it. There are no trail signs and it will be very easy to get lost.\n3. You need to be prepared to be on your bike for 10-15 hours or more. Some VERY fast folks have done this in 10 hours. Expect it to take longer for most everyone else. \n4. You must have lights and be comfortable with riding at night in challenging terrain.\nWater:\nIn a race of this length and remoteness\, water is a concern. Bring as much as you can! We’ve done some scouting and found some possible and some dependable water sources. Water sources are marked (as waypoints) on the GPS files. \nRoute:\nIt is HIGHLY recommended that you bring\, and know how to use\, a GPS for this race. The Legends of Superior section has lots of areas where it is easy to miss the trail and get off course. Using a GPS and paying attention are the best ways to stay on course and not get lost. GPS files for all three courses can be obtained at the links below.\nPPP_C_route\nPPP_B_route(punisher)\nPPP_A_route(pulverizer)

SUMMARY:Ben’s Bikes Saturday B/C Ride
DESCRIPTION:Ben’s Bikes Saturday B/C Ride\nA great east-side option for riders looking for a friendly\, moderately paced Saturday morning group ride. The Ben’s Bikes B/C Ride is a no-drop road ride typically covering about 30 miles\, with routes changing from week to week. \nBeing based on Tucson’s southeast side gives the group access to some terrific riding\, including Saguaro National Park East and other routes around Vail\, Rita Ranch and southeast Tucson.

SUMMARY:Borderland Gravel
DESCRIPTION:BorderLands Gravel is much more than a gravel race. Set in the wide-open landscape of Douglas and Cochise County\, the event celebrates adventure\, cycling culture\, community\, and the unique character of Arizona’s borderlands. \nRiders can choose from 92\, 65\, or 39-mile gravel courses\, with an E-Bike division on the 39-mile route. Younger riders receive reduced registration fees\, and a special 65-mile collegiate category helps make the event accessible to the next generation of cyclists. \nOne of the most distinctive parts of the weekend is the free Bi-National International Parade Lap. Riders cross the international border into Agua Prieta\, Mexico\, ride through the community\, and return across the border to Douglas before the gravel races begin. Special discounted registration is also offered to residents of Mexico\, reinforcing the event’s goal of bringing communities on both sides of the border together. \nFor those who would rather participate without a bicycle\, BorderLands also offers a 3K Run/Walk\, making the weekend accessible to friends\, families\, and community members. \nWhat really separates BorderLands Gravel is its sense of place. The routes showcase the history\, landscape\, and rugged beauty of the Apacheria region while introducing riders to a part of southeastern Arizona many have never experienced from the saddle. \nThe organizers describe their goal as creating an experience that brings smiles to riders\, volunteers\, families\, visitors\, and the surrounding communities. Just as importantly\, they want the event to leave Douglas\, Cochise County\, and the Borderlands better than they found them. \n2026 Events \n\nLong Course: 92 miles\nMedium Course: 65 miles\nCollegiate Course: 65 miles\nShort Course: 39 miles\nE-Bike Course: 39 miles\nInternational Parade Lap: Bi-National ride through Douglas and Agua Prieta\n3K Run/Walk: Community event for runners and walkers\n\nWhy ride it: Come for the gravel\, but expect to remember the landscape\, the people\, and the unusual experience of a cycling event built around two neighboring communities and one shared borderland. \nBorderLands Gravel LONG Course 8:00 AM 92 miles 150 $120.26\nParticipants younger than 20 at the end of 2026 pay $60.13\n(under 20) $60.13\nBorderLands Gravel MEDIUM Course 8:05 AM 65 miles $120.26\nParticipants younger than 20 at the end of 2026 pay $60.13\n(under 20) $60.13\nCollegiate Cyclists (MEDIUM Course) 8:05 AM 65 miles $54\nBorderLands Gravel SHORT Course 8:10 AM 39 miles $105.26\nParticipants younger than 20 at the end of 2026 pay $52.63\n(under 20) $52.63\nBorderLands Gravel “E-BIKE” 8:30 AM 39 miles $105.26\nAll “E-Bike riders” – NO Mechanical support will be provided throughout the entire event!
