Riding in Phoenix AZ

Hello all! I'll be going down to phoenix while I'm on vacation between April 2-6th and I'm planning to ride up south mountain. From what I understand, the ride should only take about an hour or so. I was wondering if anybody has suggestions of other road bike related things to do while I'm down there. What shops should I visit? Any good club rides? Is there Anywhere I can get a good tri fitting for a reasonable price? Help me spend my time wisely!!

WVC has a great Saturday morning ride.

A popular loop here is also to go from fountain hills up past McDowell Mountain park and up 9 mile hill; not as much climbing as south mountain, but still a nice ride with big bike lanes. Taking it from the Beeline also extends the trip, which has good bike lanes/shoulder
