Desert Loop 125 Description

The Desert Loop 125k brevet route can be described as a sampler of some enjoyable riding areas in the Valley of the Sun. The route starts and finishes in Chandler and travels in a counter-clockwise direction.

The route travels coincident with longer events on the day so that riders will be able to ride with friends early on. Some highlights include Usery Pass, Lower Salt River Valley, "Kong" (a fun climb) and some bike trails thru Gilbert.

Services are located at regular intervals along the route.

Terrain: The route follows the Lower Salt River Valley where wild horses are often spotted. This route only climbs 1400' and is a nice sampler of the area where locals often ride.

Directions to the start:
Location: Start Location is at McClintock Dr & Chandler Blvd in Chandler
Address: 4040 W Chandler Blvd, Chandler, AZ 85226
     > This address is a Circle K. See map linked below.

Lights, reflective vest, ankle bands are Required. Since riders will be starting coincident with the longer routes, the sun will not have risen yet at the start. This will be good practice for longer rides.
