SUMMARY:Willcox Flyer Bike Ride
DESCRIPTION:14th Annual Willcox Flyer Bike Ride\nSaturday\, September 5\, 2026 | Willcox\, Arizona\nRide Start: 7:00 AM | 8\, 33 & 66 Mile Routes \nCome ride the wide-open roads and high-desert landscape of southeastern Arizona at the 14th Annual Willcox Flyer Bike Ride. \nStarting in downtown Willcox\, the Flyer is a fun\, welcoming community ride with distances for everyone from families and casual cyclists to riders looking for a longer challenge. Choose from 8\, 33 or 66 miles\, with staggered starts beginning at 7:00 AM. \nThis isn’t a timed race. Ride fast\, ride easy\, bring some friends and enjoy a morning on the bike. Of course\, that doesn’t stop some of the faster riders from pretending they aren’t racing! \nThe Willcox Flyer is also a ride with a purpose. Every dollar raised benefits Small Town\, Big Dreams\, a local 501(c)(3) working toward an ambitious goal: making post-secondary education accessible to every student graduating from Willcox High School. The organization currently provides scholarships to 23 students\, many of whom are the first generation in their families to pursue education beyond high school. \nRide Day\nThe 66-mile riders depart at 7:00 AM\, followed a few minutes later by the 33-mile group and then the 8-mile riders. The short ride has traditionally been led by hometown Olympian and Willcox favorite Mike Allen\, now 90 years old. \nThe routes are on roads that remain open to traffic. Police escorts are provided\, traffic is generally light\, and riders should follow all rules of the road. Riders should also use caution at aid stations\, turnarounds and railroad crossings. \nFully stocked aid stations along the routes provide hydration\, fruit\, snacks and plenty of fuel to keep riders going. SAG support and bicycle mechanics are also available to help with mechanical problems or riders who need assistance getting back. \nAt the finish\, stick around for cold drinks\, chocolate milk\, watermelon\, snacks and some well-earned post-ride relaxation. \nPacket Pickup & Registration\nFriday | 4:00–7:00 PM\nKeeling Schaefer Vineyard Tasting Room\n154 N. Railroad Ave.\, Willcox \nSaturday | 6:00–6:45 AM\nRailroad Avenue Park\n100 S. Railroad Ave.\, Willcox \nDigital check-in is available using your QR code or name. Don’t forget to pick up your Willcox Flyer T-shirt and water bottle. \nParking\nStreet parking is available throughout the area\, along with a large dirt lot east of Railroad Avenue Park. Please pay attention to restricted areas and avoid blocking business gates or driveways. \nRider Support\nSAG wagons will be on the course throughout the ride for anyone who needs assistance. Sabino Cycles and Specialized will also provide mechanical support. \nRide for Something Bigger\nThe Willcox Flyer is possible because of its riders\, volunteers\, sponsors and the Willcox community. \nCome for the ride. Enjoy southeastern Arizona. Experience a great small-town cycling event. And know that your registration is helping a local student pursue a bigger dream. \nEvery rider matters. Every mile helps. And at the Willcox Flyer\, everyone is a winner.
