Climbing South Mountain Desert 100 Description The Desert 100 brevet route is noticeably different than the other routes running concurrently. This route actually has a climb! And, not just any old climb. Riders will start on the same route as the other distances, but will diverge pretty quickly from them, at mile 24. After the split, riders will make their way to the base of South Mountain where you will climb Summit Rd to the top. You'll have some spectacular views of the Valley below as you stand at the elevation of the TV towers. After you take your obligatory photos, you'll get to experience the super fun descent. You'll want to use some caution because the smooth pavement will allow you to gain more speed than your Guardian Angel can keep up with. Once at the bottom, you will ride some bike paths and other low traffic roads as you make your way back to the finish. Services are located at regular intervals along the route. Terrain: Mostly flat, except for one big ol' hill in the middle! Directions to the start Location: Start Location is at I-10 & Chandler Blvd in Chandler Address: This address is outside the Denny's. See map. Click here for a Google map to the ride start location.
