They have sent us some cool raffle prizes to stoke everyone out! If you're not familiar with Ortlieb, we've carried their product for 17 years and they have been a mainstay of touring bags and commuter gear. They do a fantastic job of making very waterproof, durable gear and supplying parts for the wear and tear items that can be replaced, keeping your bags in service for many years!3 Route VersionsWe are excited this year to be offering three versions in one of this ride. This is our first time doing a three in one and it should make for a good time for all!Intermediate Route - 32 miles (64 miles total)Intermediate and advanced route riders will be leaving Campfire Cycling at around 9:30AM. This group will ride a paved bike path most of the way to Colossal Cave State Park. The route does have some rolling climbs over the last 5 miles.Beginner Route - 18 miles (36 miles total)For beginner bikepackers who are looking for a shorter version of the ride (18 miles instead of 32), we welcome you to join at mile 14 of our route at Fantasy Island's north parking area (See Point-of-Interest on the route map). We will be joining with beginner riders at this point. This beginner section is similar in difficulty to our beginner ride that we do from Campfire to Catalina State Park in the Fall.Advanced Route - 46 miles Day 1, 40 miles Day 2 (86 miles total)For the advanced riders that would like to join us, we've come up with a new version that incorporates in some AZT riding. We part ways with the beginner and intermediate riders to navigate through fantasy island on the trails. The route splits off from the main route in Vail. While a good portion of this route is on pavement, the AZT section does necessitate a sturdy mountain bike. Day 1 ends with 12.5 miles of trail riding on the AZT. Day 2 begins with 10 more miles on the AZT. The advanced group will likely be arriving to camp quite a bit later then the beginner and intermediate groups, perhaps as late as 6 or 7pm, please bring lighting in case we are riding later then anticipated.CampingWe’ll be staying at the Sevilla group campground with room for 20 tents.

To get a good idea of what the trip looks like, our friend Jonathan Culp made this rad vidProtect the Land we Ride on. For this trip we will have beautiful scenic views of the Santa Rita Mountains who's unique environment is under threat to some heavy mining. Rosemont Canadian Company want to extract and export copper while dumping tons of wast into a mile wide hole that will seep lots of toxins into our groundwater. The Tohono O'odham Tribe as well as many conservation groups have been fighting this mine and for years. We recommend visiting: The Sky Islands Alliance, The Calabasas Alliance, Save the Scenic Santa Ritas.
