Reader support matters more than ever
We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.
If you’re the adventurous type, you’ll love this caveat from the folks at Maricopa County Parks & Recreation: “This is not a guided ride. Volunteers will sweep the course to ensure all riders return safely.” Sweep the course? What, for Bell-helmet-wearing, still-warm corpses or something? That’s so cool! To those who are all scaredy-cat about such proclamations, the ride is really not that ominous. For one, it takes place on the Pemberton Trail, which is a totally safe, not-super-technical 15.4-mile path. And as long as you have bike lights with juice for at least three hours, you’ll be good to go.
