Tour Itinerary

Your session begins with a safety briefing and a review of the custom route selected for your group's specific skill level. We adjust the cadence and elevation profile to ensure every rider finds their stride while navigating the Sonoran Desert landscape. Your guide manages the navigation and timing so you can focus entirely on the road ahead.

As we move through the Scottsdale cycling corridors, we stop at designated scenic points to hydrate and take in the desert views. The return leg is paced to finish at our variable departure point after completing approximately four hours of active riding. We conclude with a post-ride debrief to review the morning's distance and total elevation gain.
