Master Ong Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 When do yo guys meet up again? I just relocated from LA to AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ombre Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 Glad you asked! ? We are planning an after-work ride this week on Friday (4/27/2018), starting at Grant & I-10 (Waffle House parking lot) and doing some of The Loop toward downtown. See map. This will be a shorter ride because we'll run out of daylight but we still have time to play around downtown a little. Total mileage will be <15 miles so no need to bring a charger. Three people have already RSVP'd for this ride. The next ride planned after that will probably be our first-annual Cinco de Mayo Ride (May 5) in Tucson. Location and route TBD, but we'll probably try to crash a parade or something. I expect a few of our Phoenix/Scottsdale brothers to come down and join us for this one. @Playarider @dbfrese If you want to stay tuned for more ride announcements, contact me via PM and we'll hook up on email. Lots of smaller group rides have been happening that we haven't announced on this forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Ong Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Do you guys only ride Tuscon and not in Phoenix area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check some of the older rides in this thread. In fact we just did a big Scottsdale ride on Saturday (April 21) that wasn't promoted here, and it was awesome. We may be done with Phoenix area rides for the season, though, since it's hotter in Phoenix than Tucson. We'll get back to Phoenix in the fall.

Master Ong Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Sad times. Tad bit late. Let me know when you guys get back to ride around this area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ombre Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 Check with @Playarider. He'll keep riding up in Scottsdale no matter how hot it gets! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ombre Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 (edited) The 1st Annual Tucson Cinco de Mayo EUC Ride May 5, 2018 starting at 7:30 a.m., at Highland Parking Garage, 1420 E Helen St This may be our last big group ride of the season, so don't miss out! Since all of the new Tucson crew are now skilled enough to ride sidewalks, we're going for a mixed ride of 65% sidewalk/bike-friendly streets, and 35% on trails. Roughly 20 miles as planned. Please disregard previous map & instructions. I changed things because I discovered two events happening in downtown for Cinco de Mayo and re-designed the route so that we could crash both of them. One is a "block party" at Mercado San Agustin featuring food trucks and live music, and the other is the Tucson Folk Festival happening in and around El Presidio Park (our favorite downtown park for playing around). The new meeting point will be Highland Parking Garage at 1420 E Helen St, near Speedway/Campbell. Most of you have been there before. Parking is free on Saturday. Realistically with playing around we'll probably log 25+ miles, so definitely bring your chargers. We'll go right past El Molinito in South Tucson but on Cinco de Mayo it may be too crowded for lunch. No worries, there are several possible lunch stops, including Roma Imports. We will also terrorize the U of A, ride a chunk of The Loop, and explore Reid Park for the first time. See attached map for details. Wheels with 30 mile range should be OK without charging if we don't make any side trips, but bring a charger just in case we decide to go for bonus miles. It's also OK to join up later in the day if that works for you. Just call or text for our current location: 520-276-9474 Edited May 2, 2018 by Ombre change of route and map Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLAYA-RIDER Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 This is true. I ride every other day or so in the old town scottsdale area or shoot down to Tempe Beach Park. Some good night riding weather coming up too ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ombre Posted May 2, 2018 Author Share Posted May 2, 2018 Note: the route for May 5 has changed! See post above for the revised meeting point and map. Hope to see you there. Please RSVP if you haven't already, so we know how many to expect (this affects where we stop for re-charging). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ombre Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 Had a good impromptu ride last night with @Zerloth and two others, on the Pantano River Park trail. Man, the weather is PERFECT in Tucson right now. Upper 70s, dry, clear. It doesn't get any better. Too bad the heat is coming this weekend. We've got 7 confirmed for the upcoming Cinco de Mayo ride: Me, @Playarider, @MacPara, @Zerloth and Laura, Jeff & Emma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't resist the nice weather yesterday either and blew the ACM up to Ina and bike path. Looks like one can get through to continue NW to Avra Valley Road. Didn't have the time to try it but put it on the list of stuff to check out. Came back and still had 75% battery left after 19 miles at high speed ?

PLAYA-RIDER Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Glad to see a new rider in Phoenix. Their are quite a few riders scattered around. And even a Tucson group that comes up for group rides from time to time. No big rides planned that I'm aware of, but I will be riding from Scottsdale south to Tempe beach park today sometime if you want to meet up ?
