SDMB Ride Leaders: Here is a information packet you might like to have for your rides. Please download, read, and print off a rider waiver sheet for your ride. You may also want a few club membership forms, too!

Rides are rated based on technical and aerobic difficulty. If you are not sure about the suitability of a ride for your skill/fitness level, call the ride leader. Overestimating your fitness and skill can make the ride unpleasant (and even dangerous) for you and for the other riders.

Tucson WIKI
Chad started a WIKI for keeping track of all of the trails in the Tucson area. Currently, the Tucson Mountain Park, Golder Ranch, Fantasy Island, Rillito and Santa Maria trail areas have significant sections described and mapped into Google Earth. A color coded rating system similar to "The Map" has been used for the Google Earth file. Each trail is linked to a corresponding entry in the WIKI that contains further description and ratings. If SDMB members would be interested in knowing of or contributing to this resource, please do so!
