All others will go on an urban fun mountain bike ride.
Thursday 9th— Tumamoc. Please families feel welcome to come. Also riders please bring real shoes.
SATURDAY, MAY 11TH: Super fun ride with Vistoso Cycling Club – longtime supporters of El Grupo and really strong retired riders. This is mandatory and families are invited to join us at Dove Mountain resort for the ice cream social part! Here is what the plan is:
The Cyclists will meet El Grupo near Tohono Chul Park (a familiar route near Ina and Paseo de Norte) about 7:45am, in the adjacent church parking lot. This will be a chance to get acquainted briefly. Then, we will re-trace Northern and La Canada through Oro Valley to the destination: the “summit” at Dove Mountain.
Dove Mountain will be a treat for the kids; The nearly 6-mile downhill descend will be a blast. Perhaps, the coolest experience for all of us will be at the base of Dove Mountain; Dove Mountain Park, is a hidden park jewel. Here the kids and Cyclist can enjoy each other, and with ice cream treats, cookies, and coffee for the adults. All the conveniences are there; restrooms, picnic facilities, open grassy areas, and shade. Cyclists and volunteers will be prepared for the riders
All Vistoso Cyclists, their spouses and friends are invited, and to view the riding action. Videos and Photos will be taken throughout the event
More details about starting times for us will be posted this week.
