Start and finish at Miami Memorial Park

The ride starts in the mining town of Miami, Arizona and travels along SR 188 past Roosevelt Lake.  The route then follows SR87 up Oxbow Hill to Payson. Just north of Payson, the route is 10 miles out Houghton Mesa Rd in the pines. The turnaround is at the end of the pavement, with the return following the same route back to Miami.

Roosevelt Lake

Definitely more challenging than the Casa Grande brevets. Starting elevation is 3200 ft. The turnaround past Payson is at 5200 ft. Total climbing is at least 6,000 feet of accumulated elevation. I wouldn't be surprised if it was more than that.

Riders are expected to do simple repairs such as repair a flat tire.

Lights, safety vest/belt, and ankle bands are required.

This is a self supported ride. The area is remote but there are convenient stores about every 30-40 miles.
