This ride meets at 5:30 a.m. all year at the corner of Exeter and 64th Street in East Phoenix and goes around Mummy Mountain and then returns by the same route. The pace is fast, and the ride features close riding and fast downhill turns, so it is only recommended for riders who are comfortable riding in tight packs while cornering at high speed. Many of the riders who participate in this event are racers. More casual riders often remark that the people who participate in this ride are completely nuts. During much of the year, the ride takes place in darkness, so strong headlights are required. - The
