Phoenix Parks Dept has scheduled a "Silent Sunday" car-free day at South Mountain once a month through the end of the year on the following dates; May 27, June 24, July 22, Aug 26, Sept 23, Oct 28, Nov 18, Dec 23. The more cyclists who show up the more likely they will continue.
For those of you who do not know, Silent Sunday is where personal vehicles will not be allowed on the road past the Activity Complex. This will give the wildlife a break from the fumes and traffic and will give people the chance to enjoy the preserve without the noise or traffic from the road.
