The Valley of the Sun bicycle race is a three-day USA Cycling event in which professional and amateur road racing cyclists compete in different categories for cash and non-cash prizes. A stage is held each day\, with riders in each category competing for a stage victory and also for their category’s overall ‘General Classification race win by having the lowest cumulative time for all three stages. The stages include the Landis Cyclery – Trek Individual Time Trial on Friday\, the Safeco Insurance\, Parrish Agency\, Road Race on Saturday\, and the exciting Hiser Joy criterium on Sunday in downtown Phoenix. There are over 700 participants in 25 categories of professional and amateur riders\, both men and women\, ages 10 to over 60\, all competing for their portion of a $20\,000 cash purse. \nRecognized by USA Cycling as one of the premier road cycling events in the Southwest\, The Valley of the Sun Stage Race is the first event of the annual American Road Calendar. The American Road Calendar highlights top events in the U.S. for riders across various categories to put on their list of must-do events. \n“The Valley of the Sun Stage Race has been a part of our Junior Development Series for many years. We are pleased to give them the recognition they deserve for providing a great experience for all categories of racers.” \nChuck Hodge\, Chief of Racing and Events\, USA Cycling \nFor the tenth year\, VOS will include a Hand Cycle category. The Paralyzed Veterans Racing Team\, along with the Free Wheel Foundation have been key supporters helping to drive the success of this new event. Darol Kubacz of the PVRT had this to say about VOS: “What VOS offers for the athletes is outstanding – above and beyond what most cycling events around the country have been able to offer “adapted” cyclist. I have great confidence in this event being a great experience for the beginner and advanced racer!” \nAlong with the three days of racing\, there are events on Sunday for children under the age of 12\, including a kid’s bicycle race. A portion of the proceeds from the race are donated to the SAFE KIDS Coalition of Maricopa County and the Phoenix Police Department to support child helmet safety awareness. \nThe Valley of the Sun Stage Race is put on by the White Mountain Road Club\, and is one of the largest bicycle races in the nation. Race promoter\, Brian Lemke\, had this to say about the race: “It is a great opportunity for cyclists of all ages and categories to brush shoulders and race on the same course as many of the top professional and amateur riders in America.” \nSeveral local businesses help to support the race through sponsorship of the White Mountain Road Club\, including Landis Cyclery\, Trek Bikes\, Hiser  Joy P.L.C.\,  and Tri-City Cardiology.

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:Tuesday night Ride
DESCRIPTION:This is a slow ride through different routes from The University of Arizona. It leaves at 8:45 every Tuesday Night \nThis is a difficult ride to describe as its always a little different.  Every type of bike has shown up for this ride and all types of riders.

SUMMARY:OldSkool OG's" 24th Annual Anti-Superbowl ride
DESCRIPTION:It’s that that time of year again where we make our annual pilgrimage to the top of Charouleau Gap. This will be our 24th Super Bowl making the trek to the top.\nThis is an old double track rock crawling dirt road and the saddle is at a whopping 5100mountain bike\nofeet. Most of the road is very steep and it is 2400 vert feet of climbing in 6.5 miles.\nBring tons of water and some good energy snacks from the top. Even if it’s warmer at the bottom when we start it is always chilly at the top so a light extra layer is a wise thing to throw in your pack\, and it will be extra protection for the very hairy very fast decent.\nBe warned this is a very challenging ride with lots of chances for crashes and getting hurt. It is only for people that like pain\, sweat and blood\, kinda like a football player in an NFL Game !

SUMMARY:Molino and Milagrosa - Tucson MTB Addicts
DESCRIPTION:Plan to meet up at Ave de Suzenu by 9AM and we will shuttle to Molino Basin. Johnny is back in town and we are all getting together for a pre-Super Bowl ride. It may also be a good idea to meet up in the Le Buzz parking lot to shuttle over and reduce the amount of vehicles parked on Suzenu.\nThis is a technically challenging ride\, so I would not recommend beginners attempt this trail. If you can’t ride it\, feel free to walk whatever features you are not comfortable with. It takes around three hours with a group\, so make sure to have at least 2 L of water\, nutrition\, bike/tire repair kit and a helmet.

SUMMARY:Midday Mayhem - Old Pueblo MTB
DESCRIPTION:Public  · Anyone on or off Facebook\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA “Midday Mayhem” ride ::: A Basic Intermediate level trail with lots to explore. Midday Mayhem rides can be shortened\, or portions of the trails can be skipped often times to create a more Beginner friendly experience. Midday Mayhem rides often times have locations that are chosen for their flexibility & variety to provide riders of various technical skill levels & fitness level to make their own ideal route. Rides are generally big enough to allow for groups to split on routes and meet back up to finish together.\n\n\nSPECIAL INFO ::::: 2 RIDE OPTIONS ::::\n\nOPTION 1 ::: 1:00pm – Golden Gate Downhill Laps run as a sort of “Open House” from 1:00pm – 3:00pm. Route selection is a rinse and repeat laps of a 3 mile section of Tucson Mountain Park over by Old Tucson Studios. The plan will be to ride the “Golden Gate Trail” Downhill section over and over until your heart is content. Led by Travis Williams & Amanda W.\n\nOPTION 2 ::: Tucson Mountain Park 12+ Mile Loop to include 1 pass at Golden Gate Downhill (if you want). This option will be done by those that want to do it.\n\nDIFFICULTY: Definite intermediate with some good fun\, flowy chunk sections.\n\nDISTANCE: 1 Lap up Chapparal and over to Golden Gate\, down to the bottom where it skips back over west to where we parked is 3 miles. Plans to do that 3 mile “lap” over and over again. So 3-15 miles depending on how many laps you want to do. The uphill is a grind but it’s not a very steep grade and it’s just over 1 mile long.\n\n\nMEET TIME: FIP (Feet In Pedals) @ as close to 1:00 PM as possible\, so Meet at 12:45 pm at “K12” parking area… or you can park where Hal Gras is right at McKinney Rd.\n(approx ride time 2-3 hours).\nPARK: K12 Pullout\, or you can park right at Kinney Road where Hal Gras takes you down to the Ironwood Picnic Area.

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:Tortolita 50 Arizona Endurance Series
DESCRIPTION:Arizona Endurance Series\nPosted on October 20\, 2007 | 4 comments\n\nThe Arizona Endurance Series (AES) consists of a number or grassroots\, endurance races and rides. At the beginning of the year\, the Antelope Peak Challenge will open the series with some little known singletrack near the town of Oracle. We have another Tucson ride\, the Tortilita 50\,  at the beginning of February. Next up is a ride that includes the famed Ripsey ridgeline. This is a great chance to check out a remote and rarely ridden section of the AZT.  In March we will be heading to Red Rock country for the Sedona Big Friggin Loop. Have you ever wanted to explore singletrack in Prescott? Come out to the Prescott Monstercross. We wrap up spring with a ride in the mountains of Flagstaff at the Aspen Asphyxiation. Then we will break until fall. First event of the fall season will be the Tusayan Tussle – up near the Grand Canyon. Then\, a new addition to the calendar – Mogollon Mayhem. Next up is a 4 day stage race –  Coconino 250 .  The year will finish out with the Kentucky Camp\, Picketpost Punisher and\, Pleasantville. \nThere are no fees\, no prizes\, but all attempts will be made to record your finish time in comparison to others. The goal is to finish these challenges while setting your own pace. A start time and route are provided here and it is up to the participant to understand the route\, and also have full responsibility for their navigation and well being. These are not group rides\, although some people might do these as rides with friends or even other riders they meet at the start\, along the route. Since the events are self-supportive\, it should be understood that these are for experienced backcountry cyclists only. If you question your ability to complete such an event\, it is best that you consider another option before trying one of these. Also\, maps\, gps devices\, water filtration units\, and other back country tools are methods to ensure you complete the race. Therefore it is up to you – and you alone – to ensure your safety!! The goal of the Arizona Endurance Series is to promote responsible grassroots endurance mountain biking in Arizona\, and to provide a competitive outlet for the state’s current endurance racers – most of whom currently go out of state to compete. The AES will help train current endurance riders and perhaps enhance success by Arizonans in national events. We recommend that you join the Facebook site for all the updates\, maps\, and questions. So if you have interest\, come on out and join us\, and do your part to contribute to this grassroots effort! Only 74 participants can do the event\, so make sure to sign up on each event page. Also\, if you have any questions\, you can use the comment section below each event.

SUMMARY:Advanced 2 Nighter: Gila River Ramble
DESCRIPTION:***If you would like to join this ride but it is cost or transportation is prohibitive or you cannot afford all the gear\, please let us know. \nAre You Ready for the Adventure?\n*Some details are tentative* \nWe’re really excited for a new to us route and to get our “Spring” bikepacking season rolling. We’ll be heading up toward phoenix to ride Scott Morris’ Gila River Ramble Route (Anything but a ramble\, from what I’ve heard  ) it’s 110 miles and 10\,663 feet of climbing (and descending) into pure joy. Keep in mind this will be an extremely challenging route with lots of hike-a-bike\, limited water/resupply and challenging single track terrain. \nThe plan is to meet up and Start at the AZT Parking in Kelvin and then camp somewhere past mile 30 or so on the first day depending on how the wind goes up on the ridges (we might opt to ride a little further down hill to get out of the wind). Second Day we will ride through Superior for a resupply (there is an optional route we will probably include) and then camping somewhere around between mile 75-80. On the third day we will finish back at the trailhead. We will try and collect water as much as we go\, but plan on being able to carry up to 7 liters of water for safety. There will only be food resupply in superior if we plan on using that lollipop extension). \nHere’s what you can anticipate by reading about the route\, as well as read recent comments: Gila River Ramble on Bikepacking.com and from the original route on bikepacking.net. \nThis ride is advanced bike packing with challenging terrain (technical singletrack\, slickrock drops\, fair amount of climbing and low sources of water as well as a possible river forging. We recommend a hardtail mountain bike with big tires or a Full Suspension. \nRide Pace is ride at your own comfortable pace. This is not a race. We generally ride at a party pace with many meetups and stops so we can re-group and enjoy the scenery. Campfire Cycling will always have a mechanic at the back of the ride so no one is “stuck” alone at the back or incase a mechanical issue come up. \nAnticipate Temperatures to range from: 30 degrees (or slightly below) at night to low 70’s during the day. \nWe will be contacting everyone who signs up for the ride to make sure they are prepared for the challenge. Please sign up if you plan on joining us. \nProtect the land/area that we recreate on. For this ride we are very near to Oak Flat (Chi’chil Biłdagoteel). The Apache People and mining activists have fought for over a decade to protect this sacred land from a giant copper mine. You can read more about and it and get involved here. We recommend that everyone make a donation to Protect Oak Flat\, write Congress and Senate and consider getting involved in some capacity. http://apache-stronghold.com/take-action.html. We will be riding through the traditional lands of the Akimel O’odham\,O’odham Jewed\, Western Apache and the ancestral lands of the Hohokam and Sobaipuri
