Join us for our second adventure gravel ride led by Russell Cox! This one’s an intermediate level ride using a mixed surface route – paved road, singletrack and canals. After leaving the shop we’ll head towards Usery Pass, then along Wild Horse and Hawes. Good for gearing up to the Chino Grinder. We’ll work up our appetites and lunch at the Taco Shop after the ride!

Gravel bikes are best, but mountain bikes are welcome. Helmets required.

Start time, both distances: 8:30 AM

Metric half -century (34 miles)

This is a free event – there is no entry fee. This year we are fundraising for a local non-profit, Bob’s Free Bikes. They will be present at the start of the ride. We hope you will consider supporting their cause. Last year Bob’s contribute over 700 recycled bikes to our youth.

Fountain Hills Bikes and McDowell Mountain Cycles have teamed up to offer this unique ride around the Fountain Hills area.  This will be a fully supported ride for everyone.  Two distances are available, 50K (34 miles) and 100K (65 miles), with two aid stations along the route.  The 50K route starts and ends at Fountain Hills Bikes, while the 100K route starts at Fountain Hills Bikes and finish at McDowell Mountain Cycles.  Snacks and refreshments will be available at both bike shops for finishers. The two bike shops are two miles apart for those who care to park at one shop and finish at the other.
