    Gravel Ride...   Ride with GPS map 

    Due to threatened rain and windy conditions on Friday this ride has been cancelled.

    The annual 24 Hours in the Old Pueblo is February 15th-16th. Leading up to the event, riders and vendors set up camp at the center of the 24-Hour course. It is quite a scene. On Friday February 14th please join me for a short gravel ride on Willow Springs Rd from Highway 77 to 24-Hour Town. If you have never seen it, here is your chance.

    This is an out and back gravel ride starting at the intersection of S. Willow Springs Rd and AZ Hwy 77. It is a pleasant ride in the desert, although there will be more traffic than normal. The road surface is good, but there can be sand buildup in some of the wash crossings between regular gradings. Parking for the ride is at the intersection of Willow Springs Rd and Hwy 77 (Location) which requires an AZ Land Trust Use Permit. These permits are available at: https://asld.secure.force.com/recreationalpermit.

    Ride Notes

    • There are no services along the route including water.  Bring extra water and food.  We will have water available both uphill and downhill at the Arcadia Campground. 
    • The Mount Graham Grocery has not let us use restrooms in the past so you may want to stop in Wilcox outbound.  There are restrooms at Arcadia Park
