Fantasy Island is a mountain bike playground in Tucson, AZ. It
features over 16 miles of twisty desert singletrack that was built by
mountain bikers for mountain bikers. This map covers all of the many
loops available and has some of the cool features labeled (half-pipe,
over & under, etc).

Time for "Winter Training"

It is time for me to start getting ready for the two up-coming rides that I want to enter.

1. The El Tour de Phoenix - April 1, 2006

2. Tour of the Tucson Mountains - April 30, 2006

I am shooting for main event for both events of 70 miles. 3 rides during the week, a mid distance ride Sat. and a long ride Sun - for 12 weeks ... At least I have a goal.. I will keep updating as things go along.

The main runs for training are the "East Loop" found in a earlier post and a sweet run I was turned on to this weekend. Nothing fancy, rolling hills, a few good climbs, and quite a bit of open flats to really roll. The "Camino Loma Alta Loop" takes you on moderate ride futher out the Old Spanish Trail run east of Tucson. 20 miles total - Start at Harisson & Old Sanish Trail - Head East out OST to Camino Loma Alta Road - turn around and head back - Best rest/water spot: The Pavillion at Saguaro East
