Ginger’s Social Foothills Ride C+ish/2/34

Route Map Link
We’ll meet at the parking lot at MoUdall Park near the dog park (usual place). It’s hot out there so let’s meet around 6 with wheels rolling at 6:15. We’ll head north up Sabino Canyon to Kolb and loop through some neighborhoods and then do a loop of Magee and Christie that people don’t usually do. We’ll head down to Via Entrada and the Path from 1st. Bathroom stop near the bridge to Mountain. We’ll use the south side of the Loop to see the new section of the Loop that connects to Treat. A lot of the same old and some new stuff! This is a social ride with an estimated end of ride average 14 - 15mph. If we’re too hot at the finish we can cool off at the Splash Pad!

• Bring a tube/patch kit and a way to inflate your tires.

• CPSC approved helmets must always be worn while riding.

• You will obey traffic laws. Drive your bike as you would your car.
• You are a representative of the greater cycling community and will therefore conduct yourself appropriately.
• You will represent GABA well.
