Arivaca 400k

This route is large loop predominately south of Tucson. The farthest end of the route comes within a few miles of the Mexican border, just north of Nogales.

Terrain: Mostly flat and rolling with a long, steady rise all the way to Arivaca. The area around Arivaca is especially hilly. These short, choppy hills begin on Arivaca Road. After you leave Arivaca, you’ll head further south toward Nogales before you turn back north and visit Arizona’s wine country in Patagonia and Sonoita. After Sonoita, there’s a long and fun descent all the way to Sahuarita. There, you’ll meet your last long climb of note. You’ll finish by riding through Saguaro National Park in the reverse direction of your morning ride.
