The Pedalfiles!
Who We Are
The Pedalfiles is Tucson's bicycle hash. We lay trail, follow trail and snare hares on bicycles! It is a 21-and-over group, and typically trails are A to A (start location is the same as finish or very close by). Wankers should wear a whistle and need to take an ID and cash on trail as beer checks are typically at a bar. Down Downs after trail concludes the ride, typically in a hash friendly pub. Down downs are mostly guerilla style. Helmets and safe riding such as keeping your bike maintained, obeying traffic laws and not riding real fast on a public bike path with lots of other cyclists and runners is recommended. This is not a family hash; if you do not wish Junior to hear sexual inuendos or see something he shouldn't see at his tender age of under 21, take him putt-putt golfing instead.
Grand Mattress and Religious Advisor
Bimbo By Day and Casual Friday are the founders of this hash cycling group; the inaugural ride was Sunday, October 8, 2006 It all began at Shooters, a great local pub where the owners, given a choice, will kick out other patrons in order to accomodate the hash crowd. They are often seen sitting with the pack enjoying down downs and trying to learn hash songs.
Flying Booger is the Pedalfiles esteemed Religious Advisor.

When and where are the rides?
Normally the Pedalfiles ride every third Sunday of each month in Tucson, Arizona. Start locations are determined by the hares, who volunteer their trail-laying services. Volunteering can be requested during circle or by contacting the Grand Mattress, RA (see the Contacts page on this site), or through the yahoo group listserve. Another reason to sign up!
Start times vary with the Tucson weather. Summer starts are typically 9am, fall and spring 10am and winter months are 11am. Trails are A to A, usually 13 to 17 miles of true trail and is road bike friendly. This is an all ability ride. Riders should make sure that the bike is in safe riding condition with all parts and components in good working order. We ride on the streets of Tucson primarily in marked bike lanes. Obey normal traffic signs and signals. You should refrain from talking on a cell phone while riding and helmets are recommended.
There is no run fee for the Pedalfiles. Hashers should bring money and ID on trail for the barcheck.
