Coolidge Century Bike Ride

Options for 100 and 60 miles

 

Come and join us for GABA-Tucson's 2nd Century of the year!  It could easily be one of the "fastest" centuries you've ever done because it is totally flat, and also because the winds are usually favorable!

 

If you are not into recording your "Personal Best", no need to hurry!   You can ride this century at a leisurely pace and enjoy the day with other cyclists! This ride is suitable for novice, inter-mediate and advanced riders. Choose a distance that suits your cycling ability.

 

Training for the Desert Double next March 30th?  This is an excellent opportunity to exercise your legs for distance and speed!  It's also a good time to practice riding in a paceline or in a small group!

 

OPTIONS:  100 miles and 60 miles.

 

STARTING TIME: Between 8 AM and 8:30 AM.  Every rider must be on the road no later than 8:45 AM.

 

STARTING POINT:  I-10 & Avra Valley Rd., exit 243.  (West side of freeway, follow GABA signs for parking and sign in.)  All riders start here.  Each option will have a different turn-around point.

 

ROUTE:  This ride is an out and back course.  Riders will pedal north on the frontage road past Picacho Peak; then, they will continue riding to the town of Picacho, Turn-Around Point for the 60-milers. The 100-milers will continue heading north, cycling through cotton fields to the town of Coolidge to their Turn-Around Point at Casa Grande Ruins.  The return will use the same route.
