If you are planning on participating send an email to azgravelrides@gmail.com no later than March 31st to confirm your attendance and the manner in which you will ride the course (see Code of Conduct at http://azgravelrides.com/ride-across-arizona-event/).  

We will meet in the Topock Route 66 parking lot at the Arizona side of the Colorado River near the community of Topock at 6:00AM on May 1st.  No parking at the Topock Route 66 Bar, this is just a convenient meeting place for the start located directly on the river.

Important! There are no standard maps or cue sheets for the route, and it is not marked in any way. You will be sent a current up to date GPX file for the route one month prior to the start. There are NO FEES, NO PRIZES, but we will record your finish time if you supply us with the information. Each rider is responsible for their navigation and well being. The goal is to finish the entire route while setting your own pace.

Carrying a personal tracker (e.g., SPOT, Garmin InReach) and being tracked is not mandatory but encouraged. We utilize Trackleaders.  Trackleaders provides state-of-the-art event tracking services. Specializing in satellite SPOT-based tracking and through exclusive use of TopoFusion tracking software. Trackleaders also fully support Garmin InReach trackers. Owners of personal trackers can expect to pay $20 to add their own device to Trackleaders. SPOT rentals (approximately $120 for a SPOT Gen3 with 5min tracking service and SOS) will also be available through Trackleaders.

Is the Ride Across Arizona a race? No. Is it harder than a race? Most likely, that depends on you! Ride Across Arizona is meant to be a long, hard unofficial ultra endurance cycling challenge to test your perseverance, self sufficiency and competence. The idea behind the Grand Depart type of start is to be able to have a like minded group of individuals on the route at the same time to boost camaraderie and safety. It’s that simple. Ride as far as you can as fast as you can and above all try to remain positive and have fun. The scenery is stunning and the length of the ride becomes the adventure.
