Ride Profile

Ride Description

This is one of my favorite rides.  It's pretty fast, has some small to moderate hills, and Ahwatukee is a buzzing active community.  It's a great moderate ride.  ON any given Saturday you can ride by your lonesome or get in the middle of a pack of 15-25.  It's great!

Start Location and Parking

I like to start at the YMCA parking lot located on Desert Foothills Pkwy, just north of Pecos Rd.

Food, Water, & Bathrooms along route

There is a bathroom located on the corner of 17th Dr and Chandler Blvd on the golf course.  Not sure if you need a key, but it's there.  Also there a few AM PM and gas stations along the route in case the "urge" comes about.
