SUMMARY:Beginner Overnighter to Colossal Cave State Park
DESCRIPTION:***If you would like to join this ride but it is cost prohibitive to do so or if you need to borrow gear to make it happen\, please let us know. \nWe’ll be leaving Campfire Cycling at around 9AM for a +/- 30 mile ride down the loop (Paved bike path) most of the way to Colossal Cave State Park We’ll be staying at a group campground with room for 20 tents. We will also be setting aside a middle meetup option for folks that don’t want to/can’t ride the full 30 miles. \nOn our Community Events/Rides we follow our Campfire Code of Conduct. We strive to create a positive and supportive environment where everyone feels welcome and heard. We don’t assume anyone’s abilities based on outwards appearance. We take responsibility for our actions and words. We respect the land\, it’s original stewards and leave no trace. \nIf this is your first bikepacking trip\, we are here to help. If you like advise on gear need or want any other advice we strongly recommend you stop by with your bike or pack up your bike for the trip and bring it by the shop so we can checkout your setup and make recommendations as needed. Feel free to setup an appointment or just stop on by. \nWhile this is a beginner oriented bikepacking trip\, everyone is welcome. I’m sure all of the newbies will appreciate having experienced campers along for the ride.  It’s a great opportunity to do a shake down run with new gear or a new to you setup as well as sharing experinece\, knowledge and setups. \nThis will be a no drop ride. We ride at a party pace with many stops and chances for regrouping as well as resupply. Campfire Cycling will also always have a mechanic at the back of the ride so no one is left behind in case trouble arises. There is also food available near the camp. \nPlease be prepared with all of your own camping gear\, food and water. This will be semi remote camping without many supplies nearby. Campgound has vault toilets and running water. There are businesses and a grocery store on the route with markets nearby the entrance/exit of the campground. \nProtect the Land we Ride on. For this trip we will have beautiful scenic views of the Santa Rita Mountains who’s unique environment is under threat to some heavy mining. Rosemont Canadian Company want to extract and export copper while dumping tons of wast into a mile wide hole that will seep lots of toxins into our groundwater. The Tohono O’odham Tribe as well as many conservation groups have been fighting this mine and for years. We recommend visiting: The Sky Islands Alliance\, The Calabasas Alliance\, Save the Scenic Santa Ritas. Donate\, show up to events and get involved!

SUMMARY:Ripsey Arizona Endurance Series
DESCRIPTION:When:\nMarch 9\, 2024\nThe A (61 miles) will start at 7:30am.\nThe B route (34 miles) will start at 9am.\nCamping is allowed at the Ripsey trail head – although there are no facilities \nWhere:\nYou will  start at the Ripsey trail head off of E Florence Kelvin Highway near Kelvin\, Arizona.  Google map directions to the trail head are here. \nWhat:\nThe Ripsey ride will be split into 2 different lengths so that you can choose how much AZT goodness you wish to experience. \nThe A loop (61 miles) will be a the best choice for those who have the endurance. This route will climb on dirt roads all the way to the Freeman Road water cache on the AZT. From there you get to blast down the roller coaster ride known as the Boulders segment. After some relatively rugged jeep roads and some not very well marked twistys through the desert you get to do the famous “Switchback Hill” up to the Ripsey ridgeline. Pause to take in the views before ripping along the ridgeline. Finally you drop down to the finish on an extended downhill section. \nThe B loop will start the same as the A\, with a lovely grind up Florence Kelvin Highway – to the very top of the world. From there you’ll take Tecolote Rd. and some dodgy singletrack over to the AZT. You will be momentarily sad that you missed the Boulders segment\, but soon enough will be dropping down into Ripsey Wash and facing Switchback Hill. Once you reach the Ripsey ridgeline and marvel at how fricking big Asarco Ray Mine is\, you’ll be heading toward that final epic downhill. \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 water sources – non of which are 100% reliable. Water sources are marked (as waypoints) on the GPS files. \nFor the A loop the Freeman Road cache “usually” has water – but that is totally dependent on kind people restocking it. If you happen to be in that area (EVER) it is good Karma to bring a few gallons for the cache. \nBoth A and B loops go by “Bathtub Spring”. This has always had water when I’ve been through there\, but a recent report said it was dry. This is a cattle trough\, so you’ll want to filter any water you get from it. \nRoute:\nIt is HIGHLY recommended that you bring\, and know how to use\, a GPS for this race. There are some sections on the AZT where the trail is not terribly well marked. Using a GPS and paying attention are the best ways to stay on course and not get lost. GPS files for both courses can be obtained at the links below.\nRipsey_A_route(long)\nRipsey_B_route(short) \n \nA course (61 miles)\n\n\nB course (34 miles)\n\nPost ride:\nBring a chair\, beverages\, food\, whatever. Hang out and watch the folks doing the longer routes come in. Spend some time getting to know the super cool people who share this strange compulsion to push themselves to their limits. Witness the pain\, utter exhaustion\, and sense of accomplishment of anyone who finishes the A loop. \nSpecial bonus!\nOld Time Pizza in Kearney (520 363-5523) will deliver to the trail head. There is a $10 delivery fee\, so it is a good idea to do a bunch of orders at once. Bring cash. \n\nCLICK HERE FOR RESULTS\n

SUMMARY:The Shootout
DESCRIPTION:The Shootout \nThe 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. \nThe 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. \nCo-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. \nRide times change according to the seasons.   I try an update them here\, but check out  Click Here for Fair Wheels  for the latest info \nFair 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; \nUniversity Avenue and Euclid Avenue. \n \nStart Times\n\n\n\nRIDE TIMES FOR SATURDAY\nShootout (A group)\nScootout / Old Man Shootout (B)\nOld-Old Man Shootout (C)\n\n\nStarting 2nd Saturday of November\n7:30 AM\n7:35 AM\n7:40 AM\n\n\nStarting 1st Saturday of March\n7:00 AM\n7:05 AM\n7:10 AM\n\n\nStarting 1st Saturday of April\n6:30 AM\n6:35 AM\n6:40 AM\n\n\nStarting 3rd Saturday of April\n6:00 AM\n6:05 AM\n6:10 AM\n\n\nStarting 1st Saturday of September\n6:30 AM\n6:35 AM\n6:40 AM\n\n\nStarting 2nd Tuesday of October\n7:00 AM\n7:05 AM\n7:10 AM\n\n\n*TMFR starts the same time as The Shootout (A Group)\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Sedona Mountain Bike Festival
DESCRIPTION:The Sedona Mountain Bike Festival is a three-day mountain bike celebration that includes a main Expo/Festival\, bike demos\, shuttled rides\, gear vendors\, a beer garden\, great bands\, food trucks\, skills clinics and a whole lotta sweet RED SINGLETRACK! \nWith over 90 vendors there are more demo bikes and more to do than any other bike demo out there.

Check back for exciting announcements as we get them. \nThe mountain biking in Sedona is world class. Sedona has over 250 miles of killer singletrack and is a media darling having appeared in magazines countless times in the last few years. Simply put: it’s a bucket list destination and this might just be the best way to come see for yourself. \nWhen is it? \nMarch 8th -10th\, 2024 \nTrail guidelines \nThe trail system within the Red Rock Ranger District of the Coconino National Forest around Sedona\, AZ is one of the most special resources you’ll find anywhere. This is a trail system shared with hikers and equestrians\, and our goal with this festival is to celebrate it appropriately: respect the resource\, respect other trail users and generally leave a great impression of the mountain bike community which means NOT leaving our physical impression!! Everybody be smart\, stay on legal system trails and let’s show the world what the mountain bike vibe is all about!!! \nSee what others are saying \nBeta Mag: “Food trucks\, beer tents and a full line-up of mountain bike films put an exclamation point on the Saturday program at the Sedona Mountain Bike Festival” \nThe Radavist: “The mountain biking in Sedona is exceptional. Full stop. Seemingly endless trail systems spiderweb right out from the center of town\, winding in\, out\, and around…” \nOutside Magazine: “It felt like the festival was making people happier than any new bike\, piece of gear\, or single ride ever could.” \nMTBR: “Great weather\, amazing trails\, and most bikes of any consumer demo event.” \nBike Magazine: “On top of being a demo event\, the Sedona Mountain Bike Festival is a place to walk the gravel and look at what new goodies the exhibiting brands have to offer.” \nVelo News: “A handful of companies got the jump on the rest by announcing their new goodies at the Sedona Mountain Bike Festival in Arizona this past weekend.” \n“Great bike selections and lots of it too!

SUMMARY:Bike Polo
DESCRIPTION:Bike Polo on The University of Arizona Mall between Cherry and Campbell. \nCycle polo\, bicycle polo\, or bike polo (polo-vélo in French; Radpolo in German) is a team sport similar to traditional polo\, except that iron horses  are used instead of horses. Great for improving bike handling skills. \nTypically\, there are extra mallets if you want to come out and play.  It is recommended to get a front wheel that is designed so a mallet wont get in the spokes.  Often the best material for this is political signs zip ties together. \nVery social group with a high chance of post ride beverages.

SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:Pavement Pushers Night Ride :::::\nSabino Canyon laps x2\nWell hello there!\nI decided to open up and promote my already happening Tuesday night pavement rides to the masses\, I hope that some of you can come out and join! ALL bikes are welcome on these rides\, however the smoother your tires are the easier time you will have.\nThese rides will end up splitting into different mini groups depending on speed\, the goal is to give folks a chance to earn some great cardio and base miles to help with overall fitness and endurance.\nThese events are “semi drop” rides. There will be times that riders can be separated\, however there are set regroup points that will be discussed prior to each ride depending on the group you are riding with\, you shouldn’t be pulling up to your car at the end of the ride on your lonesome\, that will not be the plan.\nThis week we will be doing the Sabino Canyon. The goal is two times up and two times down for a total of X miles\, however some may need to build up to that and luckily you can easily peal off at the bottom of a run and make a decision from there.\n\nlink to route: https://www.strava.com/activities/10573686749\n\nRIDE GUIDES ::: Eastside Instigator Aric Jack will be your ride leader for this P4 Night Ride\,\n\nDIFFICULTY: Blue\, climb climb climb to the top\, rest for a few and then be prepared to ride your brakes\, that descent is crazy fun! Then rinse and repeat!\nAs these are night rides please bring a light that you are comfortable riding with! For this one the brighter the lights the better while coming down!\n\nDISTANCE: Just over 16 miles\n\nMEET TIME: FIP (Feet In Pedals) @ 6:45 PM\, (approx ride time 2 hours)\n\nPARK: Inside Sabino Canyon Park entrance.

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 !

SUMMARY:The Shootout
DESCRIPTION:The Shootout \nThe 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. \nThe 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. \nCo-founded by Ralph Philips\, the owner of Fair Wheel Bikes\, and University of Arizona student Bob Cook\, an Olympic team member.

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
