Cycling in Yuma, AZ?
I'll be in Yuma the next couple of weeks, and I'll be bringing a bike as usual. Anyone from that area who can point me toward a good group ride and/or routes?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Thanks for the link! I'm flying in Monday, so I'll miss the race this weekend, but hopefully I can find some rides from the YBC site.
Kind of a bummer; I am missing the Tallahassee races here in FL this weekend to go to my daughter's gym meet, then I barely miss another race in Yuma..

I grew up in Yuma....there are plenty of places as to where you can ride.
Enjoy it....if you get hungry, Try Mr. G's on 4th Avenue, North of 8th Street.......It is Delicious...My favorite place to eat whenever i get the chance to go back home....which is hardly ever.

I spent a month in Yuma one day in 2008. Actually it was about 3 weeks. But you should definitely check out El Pappagallo for Mexican food; it was the best restaurant I found in that town.

I have spent 2 winters in Yuma. It's nice there, and people are friendly. I rode with the Foothills Bicycle Club, but also heard the Yuma Bike Club was good.
I miss it! The kayaking there is also great--Colorado River runs through it.
