Ride with GPS Map
We will head out for a flat start along the Loop for 5-6 miles, then it's up-and-down for the remainder of the day through quiet neighborhoods and good roads.
We will re-group several times during the ride. These are marked on the map:
- Basha’s (East Territory and Kolb)
-near the top of Kolb
- after the left off of Swan onto Catalina Avenue ( faster riders can climb all of Swan while they wait).
- at the top of Montezum Drive
- after the left hand turn from Campbell Avenue onto East Ina Road ( faster riders can climb to the traffic circle above and then come back to this point)
- At the top of Christie and Magee
- after the left turn onto Orange Grove
We get off the Loop at Craycroft to go N for a bit, then R on East Center Village drive to go N on North Paseo Aquimuri, then R on North Paseo Sonoyta and R again to East Territory Drive. Follow Territory to the North taking a left at Apache hills trail. We loop around the top then dropping down on N post trail with a first left that has us climb N Fort Yumi trail, descending on Grey Mountain Trail back to East Territory. There is a re-group/bathrom break at Basha’s before we head up Kolb which becomes Craycroft, then over the top but be sure to go R before the bottom at East Shadow Ridge Drive. Connect at East Jochums Drive, East Camino Bosque to North Camino Arenosa to East Camino La Brinca. Right (West) on Swan, then S on East Don Jose Dr through the neighborhood down to Skyline. Then Campbell to Table Mountain back to Campbell, then L on the "rural" East Ina back to Skyline. Left on North Indian Wells to North Mountain Shadows back to "main" Ina. Stay on Ina/Skyline to Christie. Go R on Christie to the top - but via a L at the first roundabout at Sendero de Juana & then a R heading uphill onto Magee. From the top, go down the hill on Christie/First to the light at Orange Grove, then RIGHT to Camino Miraval and downhill the usual route via Camino Cresta and Via Entrada, crossing River Rd at the light to connect to the Loop. Lastly, left on the Loop but exit off the Loop at Campbell at REN.
