With your right turn onto Pinnacle Peak Rd, you will face the foothills of Thunderbird Park Conservation Area with a @slice[short climb](d,36008.66,36865.67) to the @photo[saddle](813268), you may want to stop and take in the panaramic view of the Southwest and West Valley.

After enjoying your fast downhill off of Thunderbird Park hills, you will enjoy @slice[some rollers](d,37965.67,42110.16) in the neighborhoods south of the park, then head back over the mountains for a little more of @slice[challenging climb](d,42164.81,43500.74).

This is a nice easy ride utilizing the Rio Vista Park multi-use trail system and the relatively quiet, wide streets of Sun City. With only 200+ feet of elevation change, this route is suitable for most any rider. You can even make a stop for a treat at the New York West Bakery - one of the favorites in the area! Pick up a bakery treat, or bring some of their homemade bread home for later! (less)
