Weekly Ride Series

Monday Road Rides

Almost always the same route - from Frys on Willow Creek, out 89A, through Prescott Valley then back in on 69.
Approximately 25 to 30 miles with 1200 ft of climbing.
No-drop, moderately paced rides with regroups and stops as needed.

Monday Gravel Rides

Designed for gravel or mountain bike riders and often include the exploration of historic or unusual points of interest.
Distances range from 20 to 50 miles and the amount of climbing can vary considerably. Pace varies according to the terrain.
Routes typically involve wide gravel/dirt roads and occasionally some pavement with the rare water crossing. More challenging rides can sometimes be shortened.

Tour de Wednesday Rides

Road rides designed for cyclists looking for a challenging ride.
Longer and/or hillier routes, and distances range from 30 to 60 miles.
Standard routes include the Skull Valley Loop, Wilhoit and beyond, and Chino/Williamson Valley.
Pace varies to suit each week’s participants, and similarly paced riders often ride together.
No-drop rides with regroups and stops as needed.

Wednesday Old Guys Rides

Road rides designed for cyclists who want a “conversational” pace.
The series features distances ranging from 25 to 35 miles.
Routes may be somewhat hilly, but the focus is not on climbing.
Typical routes include Walker Road, Coyote Springs and Pioneer Parkway/Fain Road.
No-drop rides with regroups and stops as needed.

Wednesday Tracks and Trails Mountain Bike Rides

Casual mountain biking on less technical trails and tracks in the area. We seek out the fun, flow-y trails in Prescott, and occasionally in the Valley, but at times there will be more challenging rides. When the planned route is more difficult than normal, it will be stated in the ride description.
We plan to keep together with regular regroupings on these no-drop rides.
These rides are typically around 2 hours long, but occasionally up to 3 hours, varying in length from about 15 miles to 25 miles, depending on the route and circumstances.

Sunday Saints & Sinners “Casual” Rides

Casual-ish road rides (& occasionally the Peavine Trail or other low-key gravel).
Distances in the 30-mile range.
The pace is casual/moderate but faster riders can head up to the next regrouping point as they see fit.
Routes vary, and attempts are made to find different areas away from some of the busier roadways.
No-drop rides with strategic regroups to keep things casual. Perfect for relaxed Sunday mornings in Prescott.

Thursday Fun Rides

Road rides designed for less experienced riders or anyone who wants a less challenging ride.
Most rides are under 20 miles in length and as flat as possible – given Prescott’s surroundings.
Pace is expected to be in the 12+ mph range (we generally ride at the pace of the slowest rider).
Four regular routes: Two in Prescott Valley and two in Chino Valley.
No-drop rides with regroups and stops as needed.

Friday Hills Rides

Rides around the Prescott and Prescott Valley hills.
Mileage is usually 20 to 30 miles and the aim is to achieve 100 feet of climbing per mile (although we often don’t reach that goal!).
Everyone rides the hills at their own pace or skips some altogether.
No-drop rides with regroups and stops as needed.

Freewheelin' Friday Rides

Rides seek creative routes in the quad city area.
These rides are mostly on paved roads and have varying distances and elevation gains.
We ride at a moderate pace, regroup several times and don't leave anyone behind.
