Scorpion 200

Blow by Blow: We’ll start in North Phoenix with a gentle ascent up to Cave Creek to warm up while still in the confines of the city. These are nice roads that will be mostly deserted in the early morning.

After your first control, you will mostly descend for the next 20 miles or so, then head out into the open desert on the Carefree Highway with lots of open miles and no impediments to slow you down. As the sun gradually rises behind you and the desert air warms you up, you’ll reach a food and water stop in Wickenburg.

To get back, you’ll retrace your route back, but this time instead of heading across the Carefree Highway you will continue your gradual descent into the far west Phoenix metro area before you turn back east to return to the hotel from which you started.

Sound interesting? Challenging? Consider joining us on this event. You’ll get to see a diverse range of Arizona packed into a challenging couple days.
