A Ride - Double Barrel Bartlett 61 miles 8:00 AM
About this event
This is an A-level sponsored training ride to help get our legs ready for the Mount Lemmon climb in May.
The Double Barrel Bartlett Lake ride is 60.9 mile ride with 6,155 feet of climbing. Consider it a bigger, badder Bartlett (not for the faint of heart). It will be a serious test for our Tucson readiness with the most climbing we will attempt on any ride before Mount Lemmon. |
8:00 AM departure from Carefree sundial.
Climb 1,000 feet in 11 miles up Cave Creek Road to paved end of Seven Springs Road, then descend to Bartlett Lake Road. A big descent, another big climb to Horseshoe Dam road with a 4 mile out-and-back with an additional 400 feet of climb, then a big descent toward Bartlett Lake. Take the last left just before the Marina. Final spur takes us North along Bartlett Lake past Rattle Snake Cove to Yellow Cliffs for an additional 7 miles and 800 feet of climb, then reverse course for the big climb out of Bartlett Lake, climb back to Cave Creek Road and descent into Carefree.
Stop will be at the marina café or general store for coffee.
This ride should be epic!
Refueling lunch (you'll have earned it, maybe two) at Local Jonny's for those interested after the ride. |
