I believe they only run the Lemmon shuttle on Saturday, but it should be every Saturday iirc.

I'd give em a call. We had 2" of snow this week at the top, but I have no idea what the current state of play is..

So to Bugs? That makes sense.
I’m not quite sure where they are dropping off at. Assuming it’s bugs. How many miles is that and how long do you think it will take? Trying to decide if we have time to do half the drop and then hit 50 year and middle gate after lunch or maybe even Around the Mtn. Shuttles leave at 8am.

From Bug Springs down is about 14 miles, maybe 3 1/2 4 hours on the longer end.

Just checked my strava and bugs/millie is 16-17 miles. I would allow for 3-4 hours not including shuttles

It took me under 1:50 last weekend. Upper bugs parking lot to the bottom of millie. 4 hours would include a nap

I have a van, and my friend has his car. We are doing the full lemon drop including green mountain.
Its clear and running good. Its public land. Are they going to chase you down?

I always give slow group time, which is worst case scenario.
It's possible to do the whole thing in about 4 hours.
But hey, thanks for being a temporary visitor who's happy to make us look bad with the FS.

I've been an arizona resident for 5 years. Bro. You obviously haven't seen the dozens of hikers and riders on the trail every day. You should worry about the tourists leaving human **** on the trail. Not some bike riders. You also can call the forest service and ask them how they feel about you riding it, and the answer might surprise you. Bro.
The trail advocate group that works with the FS are a bunch of beer drinkers who drink on the job while working. Tell me more about looking bad. The "peoples representatives" promote drinking on the job, day drinking, and drinking and driving. You want to have a moral discussion, start there.
How much time do you have? Personally, 50 Year is not something I’d want to ride when I was in a hurry. There’s so much fun stuff to session out there. You could blow through there, but you’d be missing out on a ton of fun.
Starr Pass is really fun for a quicker ride imo

Yeah 50 Year/Middle Gate can be done under 2 hours. But that’s not really the point of ridding 50 Year. There’s so many side lines and rolls to session.
Sorry, it’s technically called Tucson Mountain Park. It’s directly west of downtown on the other side of the 10. Fun trails over there.
