Options for 35, 65 or 95 miles
The Sierra Vista Classic Bike Ride
Now we have it! It’s planned and we have a date that does not conflict with
other spring-time rides. All we have to do is train and prepare for THE,
FIRST-EVER, SIERRA VISTA CLASSIC BIKE RIDE, March 16, 2008.
The weather will be perfect for bicycling, plus wildflowers will be blooming and
trees greening out. The scenery will be spectacular as we pedal through
elevation changes from 3000 to 5000 feet.
We are offering 3 different ride levels this year. Each ride is designed to
accommodate differing rider abilities.
The 35 mile riders will perform an out-and-back to the first sag stop at 17.5
miles. There is a gradual change in elevation that will tempt for future greater
climbs.
The 63 milers will continue past the first sag to go through the Time Tunnel and
around Bisbee. This loop will continue to the second sag for lunch beside the
San Pedro crossing before heading back to the start.
The 90 mile riders will pass through Palominas following sag stop #2 for lunch
with the 63 milers, and go on to Coronado National Monument. Here there are REAL
restrooms and running water! Riders will head north along the base of the
Huachuca Mountains to sag #3 and back to the start.
Registration is from 7:00-8:30 AM (90 mile riders should register at 7 and start
riding promptly.)
We are looking for volunteers as well as riders. Please pass the word along as
we would like to make this a yearly event. We look forward to help from the
community to make this a successful ride.
