We will be hosting a nice jaunt up into the Carefree Foothills in celebration. There is no cost for the ride, but riders must register and sign the waiver. Lunch will be provided. Come out and join us, and bring the women in your life!

This route will explore numerous nice cycling areas in the far North Phoenix valley. The climbing will be modest and none are particularly challenging. Areas visited on the Foothills Tour include: Troon North, The Boulders, Carefree, Cave Creek Recreation Area and the Sonoran Desert Pkwy. It's a scenic route with not much to slow you down.
