With a course almost entirely flat and a variety of options, this century offers many opportunities for cyclists of different abilities. Distances offered are suitable for families and novice riders, as well as more experienced riders. This is also a good century to set a new Personal Best!
Starting at Grant & Silverbell, cyclists head north on Silverbell Rd., continuing over Shadow Pass (Rattlesnake Pass), a short hill at the north end of the Tucson Mountains. The course follows the back roads of Marana and Avra Valley before continuing north on the frontage road to Picacho Peak (the turn-around point). The return uses the same route, in reverse. Route Map
Most of the course has little traffic. The scenic Picacho Peak looming in the distance keeps changing shape as you get closer and closer! Look for the lunch stop, located near Picacho Peak at the turn-around point. Two other sag stops along the route will furnish water, fruit & snacks.
Pre-registration is VERY much appreciated. Helmets, good riding practices, and a successful enjoyable ride, are mandatory.
