Hey everyone. I'm looking for short to moderate rides 15-30 in the Tucson area. Preferably with little traffic. Does anyone know of any good rides?

Start Magee/Oracle. Head north on Oracle Road up to town of Catalina.
Little traffic on Sunday only.
Start in town of Catalina, head north on Hwy 77 (Oracle Rd) to the Biosphere. Fairly quiet, some hills.

Here are some good websites that I have found.

All those groups seem to offer good group rides which you could use the same courses they do.
