Ride Description:

This ride will go out to Saddlebrooke via a different route than usual.  We'll take Naranja E to La Cholla, then go into Rancho Vistoso and Sun City via Moore/La Canada/Hidden Springs Roads back to Oracle Rd.  We'll proceed N to the usual stop in Catalina for water/restrooms (13 miles in).  Then we'll skip the usual long hill into Saddlebrooke by taking Eaglecrest Rd to Edwin Rd instead.  Once in Saddlebrooke, we ride on smooth roads and then take an alternate route back - Lago del Oro Parkway and then Golder Ranch/Bowman/Wilds roads back to Oracle Rd.  From there, it's back to Brueggers the usual way south via Oracle/Innovation/Tangerine.
