They say it is better in the Hills! Let's Find Out

Let's meet @ Rio Montana Park in Scottdale. From there we will start our ride north on 132 St to Via Linda. At Vinda we will turn right and head east up the hill past Sunrise Peak Trailhead and continue on into the gated neighborhood. At the end of the gated neighborhood we will turn right and head up the paved path to a high point overlooking Fountain Hills. Then we will begin a clockwise descent into a loop of Fountain Hills. About half way through this loop we will be at the east side of Fountain Lake. We will take a short break near the lake that has facilities and some refreshments.

After our brake we will continue our loop heading south from Fountain Park and then turn back up the hills. For the most part the climb will be gradual. This will bring us back to the high point where we entered Fountain Hills and a downhill ride all the way back to Rio Montana Park.

Total distance should be a little over 20 miles. Total elevation gain, depending on the exact route that we take should be near 1,000 feet.
