Community Bike Ride List Jan30 – Feb 6

If you missed last weeks Ride List, you can always subscribe to receive it via email.  Just send an E-mail to Info@BikePilgrim.com or 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, 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.
