If those early morning bike rides sound better in theory than they do at 6 a.m., today's your lucky day. Cyclists of all skill levels are invited to participate in this free sunset ride on the Cactus Forest Trail of Saguaro National Park. National Trails Day was founded in 1992 to raise awareness of uses and benefits of recreational trails. The single track, multi-use shared trail is mostly flat with a couple of hills and wash crossings to get your heart pumping. Ride begins at 7 p.m. in the Saguaro East Visitor Center parking lot, through the main gate on Old Spanish Trail, three miles east of Houghton Road.
Ample parking is available.
Call 733-5153 for information. Bike lights are recommended for all riders. This annual event to raise funds for Sun Sounds, the non-profit radio reading service helping over 24,000 print disabled Arizonans gain access to information, will feature a wide variety of local, national and international brewers and bottlers. This is the ultimate party in someone else's back yard, with an endless flow of cold beer, friendly people and live music under a starry summer sky. Day events include a golf tournament and BBQ in addition to the regular evening tasting.
