Join us on one of our Saturday morning group rides. They are very popular with the local cycling community and the regulars range in ability from racers to enthusiasts out for a fun ride.
If you have never ridden in a large group before, it can be intimidating. If you need some pointers or additional assistance, we will be glad to help. Our goal is to make your ride as enjoyable as possible.

The Shootout
The shootout is the Saturday morning group ride. The ride has groups of about 20 riders in the summer and well over 100 riders in the winter and spring. The terrain is fast and rolling with two sprints and a gas station stop about halfway through. The total distance is just over 70 miles. If you’re looking for extra miles and some real climbing, watch for the turnoff to Madera Canyon on Duval Mine Road. If you want to take in the same route at a slower pace, catch the “scootout” or “old man shootout” leaving from the same starting location 15 minutes before the fast ride.
The Shootout is one of the best group bike rides in the country according to Bicycling Magazine. It is common to have pro cyclists showing up for this ride and it can be fast.
Co-founded by Ralph Philips, the owner of Fair Wheel Bikes, and University of Arizona student Bob Cook, an Olympic team member. It is one of the oldest and must do, bucket list group rides in North America.
Ride times change according to the seasons. I try an update them here, but check out Click Here for Fair Wheels for the latest info
Fair Wheel Bikes is home to some of the top group rides in the country. Fast rides are held every Tuesday and Saturday mornings. In the spring and fall, both rides are regularly attended by some of the top professional riders from the US and around the world. Rides (times below) start on University of Arizona’s west side at;

Tuesday Morning Fast Ride (TMFR)
This ride typically has a group between 10 and 40 riders and covers approximately 35 miles of rolling terrain with a steep climb at the finish. The pace is high and staying with the front group is extremely difficult, but there are always people to ride with if you end up off the back.
The Route takes you from The University Of Arizona over the Back side of the Tucson Mountains through McCain Loop and over Gates Pass and back to the U. One of the most scenic rides if you are able to still look around as you hammer over Gates Pass and a super fast, smooth, winding road brings you back into Tucson
