Arizona ride suggestions

[Running Mommy]

The SVP is deceiving. It's a false flat for prolly about 10 miles. It'll sneak up on ya! But it is defintely something you can get down in your aerobars and just cruise. You will not have to stop for anything since there are no stoplights/signs and the traffic is pretty light. I haven't been out there since they started to build homes, but I don't think it's all that busy even with the construction.
If you do 2 loops you will have your 112, but of course you can turn around at multiple points.
The easist way to get there from scottsdale would be to take the 101 west to Bell road. Take bell road west until it turns into the SVP. I usually park in the KB homes (new build) just past the bingo hall (looks like a riverboat- can't miss it! SOO sun city!! ) and take off from there.
Keep in mind that unless you stop at the new homes out near the turn around there is NOWHERE to stop for liquid!! So load up accoridingly. But if you do two loops you can always refill at your car after the first loop.
I'd be up for a ride in the next few weeks. Let me know. But my mileage isn't really up yet, so I'd prolly do one lap. Also... how fast are you?? I'm averaging 16-17 right now.
Oh- and another thing. the First wave tri club folks ride out there ALOT! So check their website. You could always hook up with them for a ride. They are nice folks.
PM me if you want to ride! I'll be gone this weekend, but I would be up to it after that. I need to get my weenie but MOVING!!!

Denise: I'm thinking about doing this ride on the 15th. My dad lives in Litchfield Park and we have to go to his house for dinner on the 14th. I figured I'd just spend the night, and get up and ride. I have around 6 hours that Sunday, so if you wanted to do one loop with me, that'd be great. Maybe the first one to give me an idea of where I'm going?? :-) That'll be my last long ride before IMFL, I start tapering on the 16th... yay!

I've been averaging about 17 - 17.5 for my long rides. I've done two six hours rides, one was 106, the other 100 on the dot, so I think we'll be good riding together, just let me know if you're ok with that, and thanks for the offer!!
