You will need 5-6 hours of lights. More info to come. Please leave an interest comment to show your interest.

More info...

Sorry about the constant date swap, I recently got a new work schedule that I am trying to come to terms with..... So the OFFICIAL final date is sat. the 7th at 11pm.

We will all meet by the fire station in the westpark subdivision in Buckeye. It is located behind the Westpark elementary school. Major streets are Miller / Warner. Better directions to follow.

The ride.....

I have ben strongly advised by the powers that be to avoid the PIR loop after hours to avoid fines and or jail time. So in light of this new information the revised route will be....

RID canal into Goodyear

Up Estrella parkway to pick up the 50ers at the market

over to FINS, every stitch of it...

then over to S&M over to the park

Big loop around the park back to S&M

over the new trail into park ave

park ave back to the market

back the way we came on the RID

I am not sure the total miles without PIR, guessing 70-80+

sorry about all the confusion, still working all the bugs out, i am guessing the first year will be like this, please hang with me.

Directions to start....

50 MILES

For those going for the 50, we should be hitting the Eliot Market in Estrella Mountain Ranch at about 12.30am. Directions I-10 south on Estrella parkway about 8 miles. Right at Eliot rd. market 1/4 mile on Right side. Closed after 9pm.

* Update 8/6/10 Everything is still on schedule rain or moonshine. There have ben a few others to throw in. Looking like 5-7 folks. Should be a great ride. Weather is looking like it could get wet, I myself am looking forward to foul weather as a welcome break from the heat. Any questions feel free to call. Jim T. *( kinda ) offered up a pancake breakfast at the finnish. See you all there.
