Notes
1: "Main Series" - Brevets will have food, drink & support volunteers at some of the controls. Also vehicle support for a couple bikes/riders if needed.
2: "Zero Support Series" - Brevets will not have any volunteer support. You will need to be responsible for your own nutrition and transportation plans (no SAG vehicle if you DNF)

Next up: Oct 26th & 27th
Kitt Peak 200k
Sabino, Saguaro and Lemmon 100k & 200k
 
Description:
We will continue our visits to Arizona Observatories with a weekend of climbing in southern AZ. Our last events were in Flagstaff and visited the Lowell Observatory telescopes. These events will traverse the iconic climbs to the Kitt Peak Observatory and to the ski resort on Mt Lemmon. In addition to Mt Lemmon on Sunday, the route will take us to the rarely seen (on bicycle) Sabino Canyon. Sabino is nearly always closed to bicycles, but we will work it into our route on this Sunday. Sunday will also loop in the sonoran desert gem of Saguaro National Park.

How often do you get to climb Kitt Peak, Gates Pass East & West, Sabino Canyon and Mt Lemmon -- in the same weekend?!?! Come join us for one, or both. It will be a memorable weekend!

Summary:
Sat Oct 26 (200k): Saguaro NP West + Kitt Peak
Sun Oct 27 (100k): Sabino Canyon + Saguaro NP East
Sun Oct 27 (200k): Sabino Canyon + Mt Lemmon + Saguaro NP East
