Sunday Funday Wild West Loop B C+/2/75 Miles

It's time to stretch those legs on an Old West Loop that goes through Tombstone and follows the San Pedro River Valley. Meet at the Safeway in Benson at 6:00am with wheels rolling shortly after. We will stop and refuel at the Circle K in Tombstone and the market @ Mustang Corners. There is a chance to cut the ride short by not going into Tombstone if so desired. Come out and enjoy a route not in Tucson and with some scenic views!! Car pool is available if desired!!

• Training - Re Group – This group will actively practice paceline ride skills and will stop periodically and gather in dropped riders. This might be true if the dropped riders fell back on a climb but could generally keep pace.

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