Mt. Graham, Level B, 20/43 miles, Mountainous

Starting in Safford, this ride takes us on the most difficult climb in Arizona, 21st most difficult in the US, and 245th most difficult in the World. 

Two start options:

1. Meet at Mount Graham Grocery and Deli at 8:00 AM for 21.5-mile climb.
2. Meet at Arcadia Campground (11 miles up) at 09:45 AM to join first group for 10.5-mile climb

Socialize after in Wilcox at the La Unica Restaurant, 142 North Haskell Ave, Wilcox.

Ride Leader: Mark Mench, 650.804.8469

Notes: 

• There are no designed A or C ride leaders.  A or C riders are welcome to join and ride independently as well as participate in the social event afterwards.  Alternate route suggestions can be made.

• If the ride leader is denoted as TBD at the time of the ride, there is no ride leader available.  In this case, riders should discuss the route and safety considerations before starting the ride and read these good safety practices in advance.

• There are no services along the route including water.  Bring extra water and food.  We will have water available both uphill and downhill at the Arcadia Campground. 
• The Mount Graham Grocery has not let us use restrooms in the past so you may want to stop in Wilcox outbound.  There are restrooms at Arcadia Park
