Did you miss registering for 24 hours I the Old Pueblo? The CONSIDER YOURSELF CHALLENGED! AN INSPIRATIONAL COMMUNITY EVENT FOR CAF has a solo or tandem entry up for grabs. Check out more details below in the events section. Do you have an event you would like to share? Let me know.

This list is a major time commitment and it is my pleasure to put it together. All I ask in return for the list is that you remember I’m A REALTOR. If you have a relationship with another REALTOR, I love loyalty and respect those relationships. However, if not, or if you need a second opinion, Please keep me in mind. Many agents spend money advertising for new business, some door knock and others cold call. My business is based on referrals from past clients and friends. The less time I have to do traditional prospecting the more I can do for the clients and friends you refer my team AND for the cycling community. For example: This list.

This list is a major time commitment and it is my pleasure to put it together. All I ask in return for the list is that you remember I’m A REALTOR. If you have a relationship with another REALTOR, I love loyalty and respect those relationships. However, if not, or if you need a second opinion, Please keep me in mind. Many agents spend money advertising for new business, others sit open houses or cold call. My business is based on referrals from past clients and friends. The less time I have to do traditional prospecting the more I can do for the cycling community. For example: this list.

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!

Hopefully this list will help keep you motivated and in the saddle all year long. Personally, my goal is to do at least as much if not more for the cycling community in 2015 as I did in 2014.

I have some fun plans for the ride list in 2015. It will be gradual as time permits and you can expect it to get better and better. Your comments are greatly appreciated.

Happy Holidays. This coming week we have lots of rides in Winterhaven. I’m told the Tuesday Night Ride will have a Santa on Bike towing a Christmas Tree on a Bike Bob. Bring a Bike Ornament and decorate the tree.

Sorry this is out so late tonight. Today we had a meeting for with the County Bond Election Committee for the proposed Velodrome. The good news is that pushed the vote back until January to give the Cycling community a chance to answer some questions on location and funding. We will be back at the next bond meeting to try again.

This week and next many of the regular ride time are being pushed back to accommodate the sun. I try and verify the times, but some of the start times might be later.

I expect many of the standard Saturday rides will be opt to ride in El Tour De Tucson as well. Also, with Thanksgiving there may be a few rides that take the week off. I try and check every one of these. If you do any of these rides and see an error, please let me know.

This week we have a fraction of the regular rides as many cyclist will be at El Tour De Tucson and Thanksgiving is Thursday.

Happy Thanksgiving. Do yourself a HUGE favor. One you will truly be Thankful for. Sign up for another big Ridein the spring NOW in order to keep the motivation through the holidays. I see so many riders train for El Tour and as soon as they cross the finish line they don’t get back on the bike until next fall.

The Tour De Cure is March 1^st. It has 50 and 100K rides. This is the motivation you are looking for to keep riding after El Tour De Tucson! If you use the Promotion Code The Damion Alexander Team you can waive the registration fee.

If you want to ensure you get this list, email Damion@DamionAlexander.com and put “ride list” in the subject.

This list is a major time commitment and it is my pleasure to put it together. All I ask in return for the list is that you remember I’m A REALTOR. If you have a relationship with another REALTOR, I love loyalty and respect those relationships. However, if not, or if you need a second opinion, Please keep me in mind. Many agents spend money advertising for new business, others sit open houses or cold call. My business is based on referrals from past clients and friends. The less time I have to do traditional prospecting the more I can do for the cycling community. For example: this list.

Weekly Community Bike Ride List 11.15.14 – 11.21.14

November 14, 2014Bike Advisory Committee meeting, Bike Advocacy, Bike Friendly Laws, Bikes and Beverages (beer and booze), Charity Event, Community Bike Events, Community Bike Ride List, El Grupo, Established Group Rides, Mountain Bike, Ride List, The Loop24 hours in the old pueblo, Arizona, Bicycle, bike, bike advocate, bike pilgrim, bike polo, Bike Safety, Bikepilgrim, bikepilgrim.com, Community Bike Rides, Cycling, cyclocross, El Grupo Youth Cycling, el tour de tucson, epic rides, events, heavy pedal, High School Mountain Bike, Ride for a child, sabino cycles, The Loop, The Shootout, Thursday ride, Tucson, Tuesday ride, UAMCbikepilgrim

There is a big change to the list this week. The Mountain Bike and Road Rides have been separated into different sections.

This Sunday there are 13 rides. One for everyone. The biggest challenge is deciding what bike and where to ride.

I’ll be at the El Grupo Fall Fondo. They still have room for a few more. I’m told that the swag bag is real nice. Add in a meal with Local beer from Iron Johns and it’s going to make for a great day.

At the same time for the downhill Mountain Bikers TORCA has a poker ride on Mt. Lemmon and the prizes include a trip to Whistler. You ride, you get cards, best hand wins.

At the same time the Sandbox Showdown will be riding through the washes of Tucson on Fatbikes. This ride brings out the most colorful characters in the bike world.

At the same time Old Pueblo MTB will be at Sweetwater Preserve to congratulate the OV MTB athletes on an incredible year at the High School Mountain Bike season.

At the same time GABA has 5 rides. At the same time…

People crash, they break bones, get bloody, have road rash, destroy bikes and even worse. The Damion Alexander Team is not responsible for any of these rides or anything that happens on these rides. By going on a bike ride you are choosing to make a choice in your life, one that will most likely lead to a healthy and happy life. However, if the unfortunate does happen, it was your choice to go and not Damion Alexander, The Damion Alexander Team or anyone else that made you do it.

If you want to ensure you receive the ride list please email damion@damionalexander.com and put ride list in the subject. The format is a little different and easier to read in the email.

We have officially entered Bike Season for the masses. This week the list includes 24 unique rides.

This week I put some miles in the saddle house hunting with a client from Colorado. I also gave them a tour of 50 year trail and the Urban Assault. If you have a friend moving this way who is a Cyclist, I am The Cycling Realtor and The Cyclists Realtor. Even if it is not looking at the homes on bikes, I’ll give them an introduction to what Tucson offers like no one else. Thanks in advance for all your real estate referrals.

This list is a major time commitment and it is my pleasure to put it together. All I ask in return for the list is that you remember I’m A REALTOR. If you have a relationship with another REALTOR, I love loyalty and respect those relationships. However, if not, or if you need a second opinion, Please keep me in mind. Many agents spend money advertising for new business, others sit open houses or cold call. My business is based on referrals from past clients and friends. The less time I have to do traditional prospecting the more I can do for the cycling community. For example: this list.

This list is a major time commitment and it is my pleasure to put it together. All I ask in return for the list is that you remember I’m A REALTOR. If you have a relationship with another REALTOR, I love loyalty and respect those relationships. However, if not, or if you need a second opinion, Please keep me in mind. Many agents spend money advertising for new business, others sit open houses or cold call. My business is based on referrals from past clients and friends. The less time I have to do traditional prospecting the more I can do for the cycling community. For example: this list.

Southern Arizona Community Bike Ride List for October 25- November 01

October 24, 2014Bike Advisory Committee meeting, Bike Advocacy, Bike Friendly Laws, Bikes and Beverages (beer and booze), Charity Event, Community Bike Events, Community Bike Ride List, El Grupo, Established Group Rides, Mountain Bike, Product Reviews, Random Thoughts about bikes, Ride List, The Loop, Trainingbikepilgrim

One of my goals of this list is to go on as many rides and give a review. Last week I was able to catch the Bicycle Ranch Sat Am shop ride as well as Living Street Alliances Kidical Mass Ride. What a great contradiction in what Tucson offers. A fast shop ride and slow cruise with kids.

Bicycle Ranch Summary and photos https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10154767562795154.1073742148.228735085153&type=3

This week many rides have changed start times. I’ve tried to contact every ride leader, but it’s possible I missed one. If you see anything that needs changing please let me know. Also, as we get into the holiday season you might be looking for some additional motivation. I scoured the state for upcoming races.

The list now has over 30 reoccuring weekly rides, 20 rides this week, 8 upcoming events and over 20 races. There is a ride for everyone. So to quote Queen “Get on your bikes and ride”.

If you want to ensure you get this list and are not on the distribution list, E-mail Damion@DamionAlexander.com and put “ride list” in the subject. Also, feel free to use the same email to contact me about selling your house or helping you find a new one.

This list is a major time commitment and it is my pleasure to put it together. All I ask in return for the list is that you remember I’m A REALTOR. If you have a relationship with another REALTOR, I love loyalty and respect those relationships. However, if not, or if you need a second opinion, Please keep me in mind. Many agents spend money advertising for new business, others sit open houses or cold call. My business is based on referrals from past clients and friends. The less time I have to do traditional prospecting the more I can do for the cycling community. For example: this list.
