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.
