This is basically a Trail of Tears ride that will follow the Northern Route. There are several Northern and Southern routes the Chickasaw, Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole Tribes took when they were removed from their homelands in Mississippi, Alabama, and North Carolina. The Chickasaw Cycling Club (CCC) has mapped a Northern route which we'll follow on trails, frontage roads, and county roads starting in Pontotoc, MS. The CCC will leave Ada, Oklahoma September 17th for Tupelo, MS. The ride dates are September 18 through September 28. This is a multi-day ride for 11 days averaging 57 miles a day for a total of approximately 600+ miles. The major cities along the route with overnight stops in-between them are Memphis,TN; Little Rock, AR; Ft. Smith, AR; Poteau, OK; McAlester, OK; Coalgate, OK; and ending in Tishomingo, OK for the opening day of the Chickasaw Festival/Annual meeting. This is a historic ride for the CCC. The Cherokee and Choctaw Tribes have their own ride. This will be a first for the CCC. Please contact me for more information if interested.
Ride Description for Breakfast Burrito Ride
Join us for the 25th edition of the Breakfast Burrito Ride. We’ll start at Lucy and Big Al’s World Class Breakfast Burrito Hospitality Center, 722 Sagebrush Trail, SE. Take 4-Hills Road south from Central, right on Stagecoach (becomes Wagon Train) to the second stop sign, which is Sagebrush Trail. Turn right again, and the place is on the left side of the street, in the second cul-de-sac. The phone number is 293-8155 if you get hopelessly lost. We start eatin' at 8:00 and start ridin' at 8:30. Almost no climbing, no canyons, one small dirt patch for the adventurous, all paces are welcome. And don’t forget the cookout after the ride.
PLEASE NOTE: After much discussion, we’ve decided that this is going to be our final Breakfast Burrito Ride. If you’ve ever wanted to do the ride, make sure you come out this year. I tried to get a marching band to show up for the grand occasion but couldn't find one willing to get up that early! So instead we’ll just have good food and a great time. Hopefully good weather, too.
Come on along.

The “warm-up” ride for the 2024 El Tour De Tucson is shortened from previous years due to popular demand. The ride will start at 10:00AM at the Ramada Hotel (777 W Cushing St, Tucson, Arizona 85745,) and proceed northwest along the Chuck Huckleberry Loop Trail for 10 miles, then turns southeast for another 7 miles to the halfway point at the Ren Bakery & Espresso Bar (4320 N Campbell Ave #43, Tucson, AZ 85718). After a break for coffee and pastries, we’ll head back on the same route. Total distance is 34 miles, total elevation about 500’.

For attendees desiring to ride the entire Huckleberry Loop (about 55 miles) here is the route. This is based on the actual ride we did in 2023, so there are a couple of minor “detours” where we got off-route briefly, but it is mostly quite accurate. It starts/ends at the Ramada at 777 West Cushing St, and includes a coffee stop (mile 25) at an excellent establishment called “Coffee X Change.” Text the ride leader if you ride this route so you get credit for the club ride.
Note: this ride starts at 9:00 (the shorter option starts at 10.)
