Helipad Time Trial

Introducing the Helipad Time Trial. A self-timed sprint up the Helipad Trail on South Mountain.

Start the clock from a standing start when you leave the imaginary line between the cactus and the desert shrub in the middle of the saddle. Stop it when you enter the helipad and cross the big bush on your right. See the Google Map and zoom in to see the lines.

Submit your results by emailing me at mtbikeaz (at) gmail.com. Be sure to include your time, real name (mtbr name - if you have one) and the date of your ride. I'll keep a running list of everybody who competes. Ride as many times as you like, submit your times and I'll update the standings.

We'll keep this going until the last day of 2009. Post any questions in the comments section below.

Ride safe, ride fast and remember to practice safe trail etiquette and yield to hikers.

The Elevation



Access Helipad from Desert Classic at post marker 54 about 7 miles in from the Pima Lot, 3 miles in from Telegraph Pass Lot and 1.5 miles in from the Ray Road TH. If using Ray Rd, park at the Fry's on Ray and E Ranch Circle. (You'll need more than the road ride and the 1.5 to warm up though...)
