On Friday, The Cycling House group headed out to Saguaro East National Park for some pristine riding in the desert.  Located just East of Tucson, this loop is about 8 miles, all one-way traffic with little to no cars, perfect pavement, punchy hills and fun corners.  It’s similar to a roller coaster and probably the closest thing to replicating single track mountain biking on a road bike…So Fun!  

We rolled out around 10am, just as the temps were nearing 60 degrees.  Rolled a nice pace toward Old Spanish Trail and after about a 1.5 hour ride we were at the park entrance. We always give folks the option of doing one, two or if your feeling really ambitious, 3 loops in the park.  Friday we rode two loops, rolled back home and called it a day.  The ride is about 65 miles with nice hills and great roads.  

After the ride we had a massive lunch and then hit the lap pool so the triathletes at The House wouldn’t feel like they were slacking off on their training.
