Rides are modelled from OpenStreetMap and terrain data and are not field-checked yet. Times here are estimates at a sporty pace. Catalogue access does not mean a ride fits your ability or available time. Low traffic stress includes quiet/shared streets, not just separated paths. Check current conditions before you go. Saguaro National Park charges $15 a rider for 7 days (under 16 free), and Cactus Forest Drive has no water. Bikes may ride into Sabino Canyon only before 9 am and after 5 pm, and not on Wednesdays or Saturdays. The map shows no shoulder on the Catalina Highway, so Mount Lemmon reads busier than it rides; snow can close the top in winter. From May to September highs pass 90 °F: ride at dawn and carry plenty of water. Floods close parts of The Loop after storms.
