welcome to join the Cyclists of Quail Creek on any of our rides.We are a relatively new
club in Quail Creek and still in our startup phase. We have been doing
weekly rides from the Madera Clubhouse since December. We are an
approved Quail Creek Club and we're listed on the Quail
Creek HOA's Activities web page.
We currently don't have
officers or collect dues but we have held a few meetings. We are
currently offering three or more rides a week of different levels from
casual to fitness at varying distances. We have traveled to Tucson for
rides on the Pima
County Chuck Huckelberry Loop Trail.
Posted on Feb 5 a letter

June 24th Town
Council Meeting - Bob Webster of Rancho Sahuarita will be speaking
at next week's council meeting regarding cycling and safety concerns
with the width of Phase 1 and planning for Phase 2 of the Quail
Crossing Blvd connection to Duval Mine Road. The council meeting is
on Monday, June 24 at 6:30 p.m. in Council Chambers at 375 W.
Sahuarita Center Way in Sahuarita. Council Meetings are held on the
second and fourth Mondays at 6:30 p.m. and they are open to the
public. If you decide attend this meeting and request to speak,
please be respectfully. Wider roads with designed shoulders which
are often referred to as bike lanes are safer for all users not just
bikes. Shoulders provided safe pull off lanes for brake downs,
stopping to take a phone call, safe space to pullover for emergence
vehicles and safer lanes for street legal golf carts. Wider road
with shoulders are safer roads. Narrow roads such as Phase 1 of the
Quail Crossing extension has very dangerous drop off shoulders.
