PebbleCreek bicyclists Arizona Flats started their 62-mile Metric Century and 31-mile Half Metric Century bicycle rides

PebbleCreek’s Arizona Flats Celebrate Another Successful Ride

PebbleCreek’s Arizona Flats celebrate another successful ride as they once again pedaled their way to success during the annual Metric Century and Half Metric Century bicycle events. On a bright and sunny spring morning, this enthusiastic group of 55+ residents gathered for a memorable day of cycling, camaraderie, and celebration.

A Beautiful Morning for a Bike Ride in Goodyear, AZ

At 7 a.m., under clear desert skies, the Arizona Flats cyclists set off on their 62-mile and 31-mile rides. The route—designed as a figure-eight loop—allowed the Half Metric riders to finish at the Tuscany Falls Clubhouse, while the full Metric Century participants made a mid-route stop near Gate 8 to refuel and refresh.

Thanks to PebbleCreek resident and photographer Phil Carlson, who arrived bright and early at 6:45 a.m., the event was captured in vivid detail, highlighting the energy and spirit of the riders.

Riders Who Conquered the Course

Five cyclists completed the full 62-mile Metric Century ride:

  • Laura Leno

  • Deb Campbell

  • Marybeth Kahn

  • Walt Heitz

  • Jim DeSena

Eight additional riders crossed the finish line of the 31-mile Half Metric Century:

  • Arlene Bruce

  • Todd Bruce

  • Tim Wright

  • Bill Walker

  • Nancy McDonald

  • Fred Carlson

  • Bill Halte

Congratulations to all participants for their dedication and strong showing on the road!
