Randy Jardee and I did some reconnaissance of a potential route for the Tucson Recumbent Cyclists. This route has a lot of character - more than just the characters riding it.
We rode a nice path around a park, nice quite neighborhoods, some steep but short hills (i.e., 8%, 7%, and 10%), some nice bike lanes, the quiet Forty-Niners Country Club, a nice dirt road, a screaming descent, a short stint on Soldier Trail, and a short but not so nice gravel road.
I loved this ride. There are a couple of places that are questionable for a group ride with tadpoles, but it is still a potential for a ride with character. As I understand it, Randy will also be looking to see what adjustments can be made to make it friendlier to our group riders.

I went back on 29 January and took some pictures of the dirt road and of the gate we go around and then uploaded them here
