ride. staying on the southern edge of oro valley. if the weather is warm enuff (doubtful), will prob switch out the oro valley ride for some mount lemmon up to windy point but that's likely in the 5-10% range of reality.
regarding the mount hopkins area...is there anywhere worthy for roadies or is it all gravel/mtb? will eventually do madera canyon on the north side but is there anything else?
Here's a video I did a few years back of Saguaro East (for anyone unfamiliar with the road/park):
