My favorite ride is coming up - El Tour de Tucson - so I'm stretching the miles a bit but not hammering.

I ran a GoogleMap just for fun, to include Higley & Warner (5 miles for Tarig) South to Riggs (pick up Imartin) then down to Highway of Death intersection of 'Round the Mountain (Stumbling can maybe park at the casino) then back out east. It's a 50-miler. Pretty much dead flat although there are a couple of freeway overpasses. Graphic attached!

Say, I think I just invented El Tour de Chandler? opinions please. This is a slap-down job, we can easily finesse it, but fine points include Warner as the eastbound (better bike lanes) and a purdy loop to Santans / Hunt Hwy (whoooee! Thank God I'm a Country Boy!). Of course we'll seek better city routing (maybe Knox) and whatever input y'all have. To shorten it would be to cut out the good stuff - Higley road is good, and Santans are beauty, and Riggs on the res is kind of nice desert, even the casino and Rawhide are touristy. - the hard part is the city riding!

Like I said, it's a slap-down job, you won't hurt my feelings
