Houghton Rd to Ina Rd
Leaving from Houghton Rd headed west along the Julian wash to south Tucson. This is all Loop riding with only a couple of street crossings. South Tucson has some Historic sites along the way and passes along the VA (Veterans Administration) thru south Tucson then to the Santa Cruz.
What to be prepared for during this 32 mile ride
While riding thru the south side of Tucson the loop is a bit narrower then most of the Tucson loop. There are a couple of street crossings were you must cross over crosswalks, otherwise it’s all bike loop.
- This is a 32 mile ride bring plenty of water (stay hydrated)
- Be sure to have a full battery charge if your not using a dual battery setup
- Watch for homeless groups around Broadway/Congress on the east side of the Santa Cruz
- Some great stops like the MSA annex for a snack or coffee, and restrooms stops along the west side of the wash.
- Nice stop at the Silverbell Lake to stretch and restroom breaks
This is a very nice ride and look to spend 3 – 3 1/2 hrs during this ride. Great ride to see the south and west side of Tucson.
