This is one of the more difficult rides in the area. This is a great ride for those triathletes looking for a challenging half ironman distance ride. The ride up on over Usery Pass has a good bike lane, from the intersection of Usery Pass and Bush Hwy up to the Bee Line the shoulder is pretty much non existent so please use caution.
As you can see by the profile, there are a lot of hills. Great for strengthening and increasing your endurance.
We usually start at the QT on the corner of University Dr and Ellsworth Rd. It's a great place to refuel . . .both tanks!
You will pass through the Salt River park area, there are many bahtrooms for say campers.
Great ride!
