Saguaro Nat’l East
TBR Drop Bar: Do you want to build up your cardio by getting great base miles, pedal up “fun” climbs, and generally be a menace? Do I have the rides for you!
This week we will be doing the Saguaro Nat'l East loop, the goal is two times around the park for a total of 16 miles, some might stretch it out to three even! Some may need to build up to all of that that and luckily you can easily peel off at the end of a lap and go right back to the cars, super easy to decide what you want to do!

ALL bikes are welcome on these rides, however the smoother your tires are the easier time you will have.
Extra equipment needed: Lights, the brighter the better! A really good bar light is the minimum to be out there and be comfortable for most, a helmet light tends to make things smoother. TBR has two spare bar mountable lights that can be loaned out for a ride if you want to get a feel for it before shelling out for those bad boys. Our riders have a variety of lights at a variety of costs that they can recommend as well, hard to beat!
These rides tend to end up splitting into different mini groups depending on speed, the goal is to give folks a chance to earn some great cardio and base miles to help with overall fitness and endurance for other rides.
These are considered "semi drop" rides. There will be times that riders can be separated, however there are set regroup points that will be discussed prior to each ride depending on the group you are riding with, you shouldn't be pulling up to your car at the end of the ride on your lonesome, that will not be the plan.
RIDE GUIDES: Aric Jack
DIFFICULTY: Blue, At the start there are some steep sweeping downhill’s and at the back of the park is a solid mile plus climb that is no joke... be prepared to ride your brakes, breath hard, and earn that fun!
DISTANCE: Each lap is 8 miles, the number of laps is on you to decide.
PARK: Inside the Saguaro National Monument entrance by the gift shop/bathrooms
