For visitors
Request to join the Strava club to see the route and any changes. Bring front and rear red lights: most of the year the ride starts in the dark. The club asks everyone to obey traffic laws, stop signs and lights. Two regroup points in Paradise Valley (Hummingbird Ln at Mockingbird Ln, then Desert Jewel Dr at N 54th St). If it's raining, it's likely cancelled.
