Saguaro National Park is considering a plan to allow bicycles on the 2.8 mile Hope Camp Trail. This trail starts at the end of Camino Loma Alta and hooks into the Arizona Trail leading up to Pistol Hill.

They are taking comments until May 1st, 2012

Use these words if you are having trouble writing your own...

I live in Tucson and support 100% allowing bicycles on the Hope Camp Trail.

Sugar Hill Race Podium

Karyn competed in her first Mt. Bike race today and took 2nd place.  The Sugar Hill Cross Country, put on by Adventures for the Cure consisted of 6 miles of Patapsco State Park.

Now we have a new floor pump at the Smith house.  Well done!

Who are The Sonoran Pirates?

We love bikes. Mountain, Single Speed, Cyclocross, Road, BMX, Tandem, Push, Unicycle, Tricycle, Downhill, Dirt Jump, Touring, Fixie, & many others. Some of us are fast; most of us are not. We dig like minded people. Some of us sit down to pee. Some of us stand up to pee. We drink beer. We dig entities that make bicycling more rad, like... Epic Rides, Race Pace Bicylces, Arizona Trail Association, and IMBA.

We are NOT exclusive. Ride, smile... and you are with us.

The Touring Pickle

Athena and I (Chino) completed our first over-night, mini-tour this past weekend, riding about 50 miles up the C&O Canal trail, camping, and returning the next day.  We're planning on doing a lot of this, not only this summer, but into the foreseeable future.

We learned a ton this weekend, both things to do and things not to do...and vetted a lot of our expectations one way or another.  I'm going to be posting a lot about this as we continue, so to avoid clogging up the Pirates page, I've started new blog dedicated to just our touring escapades.

You can read the whole story over at Little Rays Touring Blog

Enjoy.
See the world on a bike.
