This time we will do a fun ride in search of a donut or other treat at Mag's Donuts! We'll ride down Peters Canyon to the Bonita Canyon Trail, with a pit stop for donuts and coffee at about 6 miles. There are restrooms at the donut shop and also at Starbucks. Our return takes us through the beautiful, flat, and winding Sand Canyon Wash and up the Mountain to Sea Trail back to the Civic Center.

We will stay together so that no one gets dropped. Faster riders may choose to go ahead and loop back.

Helmets are mandatory for all rides. We will be observing standard bicycle safety rules, and the host will do a short safety speech before we ride.
