Tuesday Morning Fast Ride (TMFR)
2025-11-11 07:00 - 21:30, 2025-11-18 07:00 - 21:30 | AZ
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

All are welcome, regardless of ability, to join us at our Tuesday ride. Our Tuesday rides have expanded so much, and we are welcoming so many more. We believe everyone can experience the joy that comes from pedaling or handling (the use of hand-cycle) themselves through the air and breaking a sweat (or not!) while spending time with friends, their community, and family. We feel that all of this contributes to a feeling of well-being and success.

This is a slow ride through different routes from The University of Arizona. It leaves at 8:45 every Tuesday Night
This 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. It can be a little reckless. It also takes you to places you may never have seen. There may be people drinking and using other imbibing.
If you are not comfortable with people zipping in and out, quick stops this might not be a good ride for you

Bike Polo

Bike Polo on The University of Arizona Mall between Cherry and Campbell.
Cycle 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.
Typically, 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.
Very social group with a high chance of post ride beverages.

The Shootout
2025-11-15 07:00 - 22:30, 2025-11-22 07:00 - 22:30 | University and Euclid, 845 E. University Blvd, Tucson, AZ, 85745-9052
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;
University Avenue and Euclid Avenue.

Picketpost Punisher - Arizona Endurance Series
2025-11-15 07:30 - 17:00 | Picketpost Trailhead, 33.27184° N, 111.17643°, Superior, AZ, 85173
Picketpost Punisher

When:
November 15, 2025
The B (49 miles) and C (22 miles) routes will start at 7:30am. The A route (76 miles) will start at 5am.
Where:
You 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.
The trailhead has pit toilets, but no water. Also no trash receptacles – pack it in, pack it out.
Camping is NOT allowed at the trailhead. There are however, a bunch of places to primitive camp beside the road that leads to the trailhead.
What:
The 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.
The 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.
The 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.
The 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.
The 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.
READ THIS IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT DOING THE A RIDE:
The 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:
1. 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.
3. 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.
4. You must have lights and be comfortable with riding at night in challenging terrain.
Water:
In 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.
Route:
It 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.

GABA Fall Bike Swap

The largest bicycle swap in the southwest, GABA’s Bike Swap in Tucson attracts over 5,000 attendees and more than 40 vendors bi-annually. This Swap Meet will be held at EL CON CENTER NE Corner Parking Lot, 3601 E. Broadway, easily accessible via Dodge Blvd.
Support the Swap Meet by volunteering for two hours by clicking Volunteer Opportunities.
VENDORS, Please Use the Vendors Registration Button off to the right (or click HERE). Spaces are assigned by the event coordinator based on the number of spaces available and the event history. The coordinator also gives consideration based on when you register, so register early to get the best space. See the map below to locate spaces that will best display your goods. Don’t worry about being a member of GABA or not, and go ahead and use the default non-member options while registering. While in the future I may put a price break in for members, you are not required to be a member and there is no discount for being one.
If you are a vendor that collects tax from your store outside the City of Tucson, please note that new rules have forced me to register and give out your business information to the city. Please help me determine this by indicating you’re a business on the registration page. The City will contact you with regards to a temporary vendor permit which is $25, and they may collect tax from your sales. More information is HERE. If, for example, you are selling items out of a garage, or are registering as an individual for this bike swap, then you will not be required to register with the city.
INDIVIDUALS: Individuals this year may register for an individual (single 10×15) space. Click the Vendors Registration button off to the right.
Note: Don’t be left out if you’re an individual with several items you’d like to sell or swap. Reserve the new standard space today to ensure you have a place at the Spring Bike Swap.
BUYERS: Come down to see a wide selection of bicycles and bicycle parts from around the southwest.
I JUST HAVE ONE BIKE I WANT TO SELL: I’ve been here before too. Bring it down, put a price on it, walk around and check out other stuff from vendors and other individuals that are trying to sell or swap.
Contacts are Doug Horn (douglas.horn@outlook.com, (520) 404-1181)
Disclaimer: Spaces are coordinated and signed up on a first-come, first serve basis. The organizer has no control if a vehicle has been left over-night and is in your assigned space that morning. The organizer will do his best to give the affected vendor the best space available the morning of the bike swap.
Please contact GABA to see if free spots will be accommodated in this new venue.
