The Start/Finish will be located in Fountain Hills, AZ. A Google map may be found here.

Here is a detailed map of the Start/Lunch/Finish. It can be confusing because we enter/leave the plaza from different directions and meet at different places at different times.

1) START: Park behind the Pizza Hut. We will meet there for the ride start

2) LUNCH: Will be at Subway or any other establishment in the plaza, your choice.

3) FINISH: Will be any service in the plaza.

Checkpoint #2 is at the top of the second climb (Usery Pass). This may be a staffed control with some snacks and water. If not, you will need to answer the question on your brevet card

Checkpoint #3 will be back at the Start/Finish location. This will be your lunch stop. You will also be back at your car if you want to shed clothes or pick up more supplies for the next 100k loop

Checkpoint #4 will be located in Cave Creek at the Shell station / Grocery store. This is a bicycle-friendly location and is accustomed to seeing a lot of cyclists.

Water/Food will be your last supply opportunity on the route and at the top of the 5th, and final, climb! This convenience store will not be staffed and is not a required stop.

After this convenience store, you get to enjoy "9 mile hill." This will be a nine mile descent followed by a very picturesque ride past McDowell Mountain Park and back to Fountain Hills. Keep your eyes open as you approach Fountain Hills. The fountain goes off every half hour and can be seen from the route.

Checkpoint #5 is in Fountain Hills and is the finish! Get a receipt from any biz in the plaza. Sign your card and send it back to me in the envelope provided.
