Bike Ride Description
This is definitely not an easy ride. Stay with the Shootout pack as long as you can and then ride on. The stops for water are: Circle-K at Duval Mine Road and La Cholla (NO RESTROOMS), Corona de Tucson and the Quick Mart in Vail. Restroom break at the Pink Building at the intersection of Sahuarita and Nogales Highway. This is where the ride shifts east into an amazing climb out to Corona de Tucson. There is a MAJOR hill at the end of Duval Mine Road, but not on the level of Gates Pass and signifies the end of the first climb. Sahuarita Road is almost another constant climb and has several hills of its own that are challenges that are easy to overcome. This ride will burn off a pound (at least) of fat, but it is recommended that you come equipped with plenty of water and carb type food as the first stop is over 25 miles into the ride unless you want to stop at a Circle-K before the Valencia intersection (which you will not be able to do if you ride with the Shootout)
