Full Loop Ride -St. Phillips B/1/54

Ride Description:
This full Loop ride will be clockwise with brief stop at Decibel Coffee House at the 35-mile point for refreshments and food. Most of the ride follows Tucson's big washes; the Rillito, Pantano, and Santa Cruz. We will be treated to views of four different mountain ranges as well as the Tucson skyline along the way.

This ride will start near Ren Coffee House in St. Phillips Plaza.

As a GABA Training ride, stops will be about every ten miles for a few minutes. If you are farther off the pace than that allows, you may navigate to the coffee shop or finish.
