We strive to create a positive and supportive environment where everyone feels welcome and heard. We don’t assume anyone’s abilities based on outwards appearance. We take responsibility for our actions and words. We respect the land\, it’s original stewards and leave no trace. \nWe’re riding the Tombstone Hustle! \nWe’ll be meeting up in Tombstone and headed clockwise on the loop. This is not a good trip for first time rider as it involves some rugged terrain and carrying water for the overnight\, but is a great trip to step up your bikepacking skills and experience! \nProtect the land/area that we recreate on. For this ride we are very near to Oak Flat (Chi’chil Biłdagoteel). The Apache People and mining activists have fought for over a decade to protect this sacred land from a giant copper mine. You can read more about and it and get involved here. We recommend that everyone make a donation to Protect Oak Flat\, write Congress and Senate and consider getting involved in some capacity. http://apache-stronghold.com/take-action.html. We will be riding through the traditional lands of the Chiricahua Apache\, O’odham Jewed\, and Hohokam. \nThe first day will be the shorter but tougher one as we’ll be headed up and over the Dragoon’s for a long 3 mile single-track trail section. This 3 mile section is half up and half down and mostly hike-a-bike for all but the most technically skilled mountain bikers. After about 30 miles on the day\, we’ll be camping out in the Cochise Stronghold open camping areas right past the campground with restrooms\, but no potable water available right before our campsite. This is dry camping with no restroom or any facilities where we camp. \nIt’s possible that there will be creeks that water can be filtered from during the first day of riding\, but don’t count on it. Expect to be able to carry at least 5 litres of water but 6 will do. \nThe following day will be a flatter more mellow 40 mile cruise back around to Tombstone. We’ll be passing some stores in Sunsites for resupply. The day will consist of mostly road with some sandy dirt road thrown in there for excitement. \nThis is a no drop ride. We ride at a party pace with many spots to regroup or just hangout. Campfire Cycling will always have a mechanic at the back of the ride so no one is “stuck” alone at the back or incase a mechanical issue come up. \nWe recommend mountain bikes for this route primarily for the challenging first day. If you’re comfortable riding a gravel bike over rougher terrain that could be a reasonable choice for you as well. \nGiven the intermediate challenges of the ride\, we’ll get in touch with all riders that are intersted to make sure that you understand what you’re getting yourself into…[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]

We strive to create a positive and supportive environment where everyone feels welcome and heard. We don’t assume anyone’s abilities based on outwards appearance. We take responsibility for our actions and words. We respect the land\, it’s original stewards and leave no trace. \nThis ride is brought to you in partnership with Ortlieb. They have sent us some cool raffle prizes to stoke everyone out! If you’re not familiar with Ortlieb\, we’ve carried their product for 17 years and they have been a mainstay of touring bags and commuter gear. They do a fantastic job of making very waterproof\, durable gear and supplying parts for the wear and tear items that can be replaced\, keeping your bags in service for many years! \n3 Route Versions\nWe are excited this year to be offering three versions in one of this ride. This is our first time doing a three in one and it should make for a good time for all! \nIntermediate Route – 32 miles (64 miles total)\nIntermediate and advanced route riders will be leaving Campfire Cycling at around 9:30AM. This group will ride a paved bike path most of the way to Colossal Cave State Park. The route does have some rolling climbs over the last 5 miles. \nBeginner Route – 18 miles (36 miles total)\nFor beginner bikepackers who are looking for a shorter version of the ride (18 miles instead of 32)\, we welcome you to join at mile 14 of our route at Fantasy Island’s north parking area (See Point-of-Interest on the route map). We will be joining with beginner riders at this point. This beginner section is similar in difficulty to our beginner ride that we do from Campfire to Catalina State Park in the Fall. \nAdvanced Route – 46 miles Day 1\, 40 miles Day 2 (86 miles total)\nFor the advanced riders that would like to join us\, we’ve come up with a new version that incorporates in some AZT riding. We part ways with the beginner and intermediate riders to navigate through fantasy island on the trails. The route splits off from the main route in Vail. While a good portion of this route is on pavement\, the AZT section does necessitate a sturdy mountain bike. Day 1 ends with 12.5 miles of trail riding on the AZT. Day 2 begins with 10 more miles on the AZT. The advanced group will likely be arriving to camp quite a bit later then the beginner and intermediate groups\, perhaps as late as 6 or 7pm\, please bring lighting in case we are riding later then anticipated. \nCamping\nWe’ll be staying at the Sevilla group campground with room for 20 tents. Drinking water and pit toilets are available.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Advanced 2 Nighter: Sky Islands Odyssey East with Campfire Cycling and Oveja Negra in Arizona
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”teammateRow”][vc_column width=”1/4″ el_class=”teammateImage”][vc_single_image image=”71550″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”” image_hovers=”false”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″ el_class=”teammateDescription”][vc_row_inner el_class=”TeammateContent”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=””]This ride is being offered by the folks at Campfire Cycling. \n\n***If you would like to join this ride but the cost/transportation is prohibitive or you need to borrow gear to make it happen\, please reach out to the folks at Campfire Cycling. \nOn our Community Events/Rides we follow our Campfire Code of Conduct. We strive to create a positive and supportive environment where everyone feels welcome and heard. We don’t assume anyone’s abilities based on outwards appearance. We take responsibility for our actions and words. We respect the land\, it’s original stewards and leave no trace. \nAre You Ready for the Adventure?\nThis ride is brought to you in partnership with Oveja Negra. They have sent us some cool raffle prizes to stoke everyone out! If you’re not familiar with Oveja Negra\, they are a rad outfit where everything is designed and built in Salida\, Colorado. They make fantastic bags in both amazing colors and fantastic utility! \nTo bring things together for our bikepacking ride series\, we’re headed down to do Sarah Swallow’s Sky Islands Odyssey East Loop. We’ve come up with our own slightly modified version of this fantastic route (Running Clockwise this year). \nThe plan is to park in Amado at the Elephant Head / Anza Trailhead. We’ll ride around 30 miles with 2500+ feet elevation gain and camp near Kentucky Camp. The next day we’ll do another ~45 mile ride including riding down the AZT through Gardner Canyon (option to go around available via Fish Canyon to the 83) with a resupply lunch stop option at Senoita and dry camping off Hershaw Road. For the last day\, we’ll be doing a ~45+ mile ride through Patagonia with an opportunity for resupply as well as breakfast/brunch in Patagonia followed by a big rough climb through Solera Canyon to get back to our vehicles. Plan on being able to carry at least 5-6 Litres of water per day as well as 1.5 days worth of food at a minimum. \nThis ride is advanced bikepacking with Challenging terrain\, steep and rough climbing with hike-a-bike sections\, remoteness and dry camping the 2nd night highlight the challenges. The terrain is mostly gravel roads with some rough and sandy sections as well as some singletrack. We recommend a hardtail mountain bike or a minimum of 50mm tires. \nRide Pace is ride at your own comfortable pace. This is not a race. We generally ride at a party pace with many meetups and stops so we can re-group. Campfire Cycling will always have a mechanic at the back of the ride so no one is “stuck” alone at the back or incase a mechanical issue come up. \nAdditionally cold temperatures during both nights camping at around 4500 feet necessitate colder weather gear. Average lows in Patagonia during February are reported at 30 degrees. So being a little higher up\, anticipate a low of 20 to 25 degrees. A 20 degree bag (or warmer!) and insulated pad\, as well as down jacket\, long underwear and wool socks is the general recommendation though this of course varies depending on how hot or cold you sleep as well as constantly changing weather patterns \nWe will be contacting everyone who signs up for the ride to make sure they are prepared for the challenge. Please sign up if you plan on joining us. \nThe weather can be prohibitive in February\, so if it is overly challenging we may have to cancel. The dirt changes to very sticky peanut mud very quickly! \nRead more about the route HERE \nNonPremium RideWithGPS users can get access to premium features for this route and other Campfire Cycling routes. \n\nGo to CampfireCycling’s Ride with GPS page.\nClick Join Now.\nIf not already signed in\, sign in to your Ride with GPS Account.\nOR Setup a Free Basic Ride with GPS Account.\nYou will now be able to access this route and our Route Library.\n\n***We strongly recommend all participants who do not have offline access to the route on their phone or other navigation devise\, setup a free RideWithGPS account and use the above process to access the route and download it to their phone. \nProtect the land/area that we recreate on. We will be on the traditional lands stewarded and still lived in by the Tohono O’Odham Peoples. Right now the Santa Rita’s are in danger of more damage from large scale mining operations.

Be sure to register on the AES site if you want in on the fun and @homegrownmtb shuttle. \n\nFormerly the long course of the Antelope Peak Challenge\, it was later turned into its own event beginning at Picketpost and finishing at Tiger Mine Trail Head in Oracle. After participation dwindled (this is a super hard single-day ride with the fastest riders completing it in 12 hours\, and stragglers finishing in 20+)\, the Gila 100 organizers have decided to experiment with breaking this outstanding stretch of the Arizona National Scenic Trail into 2 big\, hefty days of riding. \nSpeaking of the AZT\, please consider donating to the AZT Association! \nBeginning in 2025\, though\, this event will be a point-to-point\, 2-day stage event just like the Coconino 250. This means there will be a coordinated campsite at the end of day 1. Of course\, anyone is welcome to do the full 100-mile event on the Arizona Trail without the camping if they so choose. \nWe will flip the direction every year\, with a 2026 group depart from Picketpost Trailhead and finishing at Tiger Mine Trailhead in Oracle. \n Southbound direction. \nThis is a 92-mile route between the Picket Post trailhead to Tiger Mine Rd on the Arizona Trail. The trail is marked (Arizona Trail the entire way). This route is VERY challenging\, but goes through some outstanding sections of the AZT. If you have the will and ability\, it is worth the effort.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
