Ride Maps
El Scoot de Tucson: http://tinyurl.com/mv36v2 120 mile ride around the perimeter of Tucson.
Vail Ride #1 Map: http://tinyurl.com/yefoo2q Approximately 45 mile loop to Vail via Old Spanish Trail
Foothills Madness II: http://tinyurl.com/yl9sezv Slower ride, about 23 miles through some neighborhoods on the northwest side. Roller Coaster Road is featured in this ride.
Foothills Madness III: http://tinyurl.com/yhq6354 About 40 miles. This foothills ride is appropriate for bikes 50cc or higher. You do need to watch for sand or other debris in the roadway as there are multiple river and wash crossings. Excellent views of the Catalina mountains are featured on this ride.
Foothills Mega-Madness: This is 47 miles and about 2 hours of twisting, turning madness. Starting at Swan & Sunrise, this route meanders across the northern foothills, around the west end of the Catalinas, through Shadow Mountain Estates, then across Oracle, past some horse properties. The route then heads South then over to Roller Coaster Road, loops back around to Genematas. The route then meanders back to the east. Calle Barril and Territory Drive are not to be missed. They put Roller Coaster to shame. Beware of sand in the roadways, especially around monsoons. This ride is 50cc appropriate.
Marana/Avra Valley Loop: : http://tinyurl.com/yk8h7wh Approximately 75 miles starting from the northwest side of town. To reduce mileage, one could finish anywhere in Marana or anywhere along Silverbell Rd. This map is the exact ride of the January ’10 ROTM. We started down Roller Coaster Road, nice twisties up Picture Rocks Rd. I recommend scooters 125cc or bigger as there are quite a few miles of 50-55mph roads.
Tucson to Phoenix #1:: http://tinyurl.com/yhqvf8c Questions frequently come up regarding scooter friendly ways to get from Tucson to Phoenix. This route arrives at the southeast part of Gilbert via Hunt Highway. It is a pleasant ride. Speed limits on Hunt hwy are usually 45 mph, so you don’t feel rushed. No serious highway riding at all.
Tucson to Phoenix #2:: http://tinyurl.com/yfypjyg Would arriving in Chandler be better for you? Try this route. It follows the access road from Marana to Picacho, then to Coolidge (Right by the Casa Grande Ruins), then along 87 to Arizona Ave in Chandler.. There is a bit of emptiness as you leave Coolidge, but the road is in good shape.
Tucson to Phoenix #3:: http://tinyurl.com/ykr37aa This is another alternate route to Phoenix which starts you a little further west in Chandler. I, personally, have not ridden the section of this route west of Casa Grande. The rest of the route is in good shape, though.
