It’s Mountain Bike season in the Old Pueblo as many people are gearing up for the 24 Hours in the Old Pueblo. Need wood for your camp site? I had to take down a eucalyptus tree last year and have seasoned wood. If you need some, feel free to drop me a line.

I said this in the last ride list, but feel compelled to restate it. I’m reticent about putting out the ride list with COVID on the rise, but feel it’s your choice if you want to be in a group. I do hope that those who are feeling any symptoms avoid groups and if the ride heads inside for beverages you respect social distancing and local laws on masks.

In creating this list I’m amazed how many rides are still not happening. Others are back, but have asked not to publicly share at this time. I’m sure I’m missing some rides and events, so please text me at 520-977-5664 or email Damion@DamionAlexander.com if you know of something that should be on this list. I’m sure with each week the list will be enhanced.

Damion

I DID NOT CONFIRM EVERY TIME, but did get in touch with most of the ride leaders and shops. You should always verify times before you head out and remember these ride times are when the ride leaves. Please show up as early as needed to make sure you are ready to roll out at the time posted.

RIDE AND EVENT DISCLAIMER

These rides are not mine. I am only sharing the data. The Damion Alexander Team can’t guarantee anybody’s safety. There are unknown and unforeseen potential hazards in every ride so you should pay attention and take reasonable precautions. I always use a helmet. I think that helmets should be required when riding. If you choose to listen to music during rides you should only use the headset in one ear or use a bone conducting system. Better yet, buy a FarEnd Gear earbud. Communication is essential during all rides and having the ability to hear is a part of your responsibility to others. Please also ride within your limitations. You are not racing the Tour de France. If you see someone that is not riding within their limitations or are becoming a hazard to others we should politely bring this to their your attention. Do this for your and everybody’s safety.

Also, it is everybody’s responsibility to follow all traffic laws. We are not lemmings. Just because somebody does something foolish does not mean you need to follow. Use your head and enjoy your ride.

THE DAMION ALEXANDER TEAM, DAMION ALEXANDER, AND ANYONE ELSE WHO CONTRIBUTES TO THIS LIST SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY ACCIDENT OR INJURY THAT OCCURS ON THSES RIDES. EVERY PERSON IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS AROUND THEM

The Ride List

The ride list this week has every race and ride in the SW that I could find. If you know of any other rides or events that are not on this list please email Damion@LongRealty.com.

I’m leading a slow ride on Wednesdays at 5PM from Zinburger on River road. Each week Zinburger is donating 20% of food sales to a different El Tour De Tucson Beneficiary. All you need to do is eat at the River location and mention El Tour and Percent night. Speaking of El Tour, it’s time to register. Want to ride for FREE? Consider riding for a charity. Check out http://www.perimeterbicycling.com/el-tour-de-tucson/beneficiaries-funraising-nonprofit/ for more info. If you would rather just donate to my ride at https://bikepilgrim.com/?p=1130.

RIDE AND EVENT DISCLAIMER

These rides are not mine. I am only sharing the data. The Damion Alexander Team cannot guarantee anybody’s safety. There are unknown and unforeseen potential hazards in every ride so you should pay attention and take reasonable precautions. I always use a helmet. I think that Helmets are required when riding. If you choose to listen to music during rides you should only use the headset in the right ear and keep the headset out of the left ear. Better yet, buy a FarEnd Gear earbud. Communication is essential during all rides and having the ability to hear is a part of your responsibility to others. Please also ride within your limitations. You are not racing the Tour de France. If you see someone that is not riding within their limitations or are becoming a hazard to others we should politely bring this to their your attention Do this for your and everybody’s safety. Also, it is everybody’s responsibility to follow all traffic laws. We are not lemmings. Just because somebody does something foolish does not mean you need to follow. Use your head and enjoy your ride.

THE DAMION ALEXANDER TEAM, DAMION ALEXANDER, AND ANYONE ELSE WHO CONTRIBUTES TO THIS LIST SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY ACCIDENT OR INJURY THAT OCCURS ON THESE RIDES. EVERY PERSON IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS AROUND THEM.

WHERE DO ALL THE RIDES COME FROM? These links and shops and clubs and teams and facebook and YOU. See a ride that is missing. Please let me know Damion@DamionAlexadner.com. Thanks

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 PROVIDED AT A COURTESY OF THE DAMION ALEXANDER TEAM. THIS LIST IS DEEMED RELIABLE, BUT NOT GUARANTEED. WHEN POSSIBLE, CONTACT INFORMATION FOR THE GROUP RIDERS ARE PROVIDED. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND DOUBLE CHECK OR GO TO THE RIDE AND IF NO ONE IS THERE, GO RIDE BY YOURSELF.

Community Ride List for the holiday season

December 22, 2017Bikes and Beverages (beer and booze), Community Bike Events, Community Bike Ride List, Established Group Ridesbikepilgrim

My holiday gift to you. Once again, the ride list. I do hope you have used it this year and it’s adding a little value to your riding experience.

OMG. OMG. OMG!!!! The Loop is completely paved! The county finished the last section from Tanque Verde to Craycroft TODAY! But the fences are not down as of the time I’m typing this. I expect they should be down next week. I’ll share the news as soon as I see it!

All of the 8ish days of Christmas rides are on the list this week. It is so cool seeing SDMB, TORCA, and SAMBA all leading rides. I could go on for hours thanking these organizations for all they have done to make the mountain biking in Tucson what it is. For a holiday present you can’t go wrong in giving a friend a membership to one of our advocacy groups. Another great gift you can give is your time. Build Days are coming up for McKenzie Ranch as well as many great projects on the west side. 2018 is going to be a phenomenal year for trails in the region.

Not much on the road front this week apart from the regular rides. Seems the same every year. I think it is the holiday traffic. It is a little crazy on the roads. Good news, we have all those MTB rides.

Again, Happy Holidays. I hope we have a chance to ride together next year.

Damion

Registration

TBC Circuit Race Part one.

Lets get this party started. The early start. There are nearly 2000 images to get through from the circuit race. Today I need to prospect for new business for my real estate team. However, I’d rather save the time and focus on the photos, for you. So, send me a referral today and I can justify rocking through all the images. Otherwise, I’m going to need to focus on my real job and leave the hobby for next week.

These photos are a major time commitment and it is my pleasure to take the photos and share them with you. All I ask in return for the photos 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: these photo albums. THANKS!!!

The Business Builder Bike Ride Celebrates year 6

April 21, 2016Bikes and Beverages (beer and booze), Community Bike Events, Photo GalleryBeer, Bicycles, Borderlands Brewery, Business Builder Bike Ride, Cirrus Visual, Fantasy Island, Mountain Bike, Networking, Sweetwater Preservebikepilgrim

For 6 years the Business Builder Bike Ride has met monthly to network, build businesses, ride mountain bikes and drink beer. April 27th at 4PM is the anniversary ride at Sweetwater Preserve Trailhead.

This ride is the brainchild of two of the most creative and professional businessmen in Tucson, Matt and Brandon Blair from Cirrus Visual Communication. Some people just have it all together. From family, business, fitness, friends, community involvement and everything else they are a part of. I have seen many rides start and fail, but this ride just gets better and bigger each month.

Links to 36 plus photo albums from 6 years of Business Builder Bike rides are at the bottom of this page.

The BBBR is a monthly gathering and alternates between Sweetwater Preserve and Fantasy Island. The format is to do a quick pre-ride meet and greet. This is limited mostly to who you are and what you do professionally. Then we get on our bikes and ride. Post ride beer, hangin’ out trail side, and a call for any upcoming events that we are working on.

This is how Cirrus Visual describes the BBBR. “If you haven’t heard about this event, think of it as business networking on your bike. Some people do business on the golf course…we love to ride our mountain bikes, and know there are other business professionals like us.

Whether you like to ride fast, or are just venturing into the dirt, all riding levels are welcome! Just bring your bike, helmet and business cards, and we’ll bring the post-ride refreshments. Join us this month and bring a friend – new riders are what keep this event growing!”

Personally, this is one of my favorite rides based on the location, people, scenery, networking and beer. If you want to go really fast, there is still someone faster. If you are affectionately known as “the turtle” you will not be left out on the trail by yourself. Since we start and stop in the same place and the trails we use have extra loops for those who want extra credit everyone can get in the ride they want and still not feel like they are being left out or left behind. Also, beer, FREE beer (usually) hoppily greets you at the end of the ride. So you ask, Is this really networking or just an excuse to cut out of work, ride bikes and drink beer? I have now helped 9 friends buy or sell their homes as a direct result of this ride, but you should join us and decide for yourself.

You can sign up for an automatic invite at http://www.cirrusvisual.com/teamcirrus/bizandbikes.html or look up Cirrus Visual on Facebook.

The past 2 weeks I have way to many calls, emails, texts, PM and conversations that seem to be extra critical of cyclists. I was asked to share some messages by different people, organizations and government agencies that asked for cyclists to be more considerate and it resulted in me being slammed by some in the cycling community. In case anyone had a question, my life has been dedicated for almost a decade to promoting cycling and my interest is in doing everything to promote bikes and outdoor recreation. However, I am not “the Man” and it is not my job to try and police the community, but I will continue to share this message “Be KIND and Don’t be THAT GUY”.

On a plus side I received this note from NOAO and it’s nice knowing people are encouraging others to keep an eye out for us.

“Since Spring is in the air, we need to be aware of the increase in bicycle and motorcycle traffic sharing the roads with us. Bicycle and motorcycle accidents are on the rise and we need to keep a watchful eye out for the two-wheeled riders! When making turns, take a second look to make sure you didn’t miss one of these vehicles!

“There are blind spots, and motorcycles and bicycles have a tendency to hide in those little tiny blind spots.”

For those of you driving to or from Kitt Peak, there are bicycle racing teams taking advantage of racing up the mountain road and then cruising down. Be aware of theses folks and share the road with them! Also we have many motorcyclists coming up to visit Kitt Peak.

Be aware and keep everyone safe! Drive Aware! Ride Aware!”

THANKS NOAO for being aware. You Are KIND!

Happy New Year.

My resolution is to make the ride list into an interactive calendar this year. Life just keeps getting in the way. So for now, more of the format as it has been. I’m told from some people it cuts off half way through the list, but if you look at your email there is an option to scroll down. If that does not work, check out the blog. I usually post it there as well. BikePilgrim.com

Ride on,

Damion

Happy Thanksgiving weekend. I hope you had a chance to over indulge in both miles in the saddle and the seasons trappings. I certainly have. I am so Thankful for the Cycling Community in Southern Arizona and each of you who give back. I’d like to name people, but the list is so long, it would exceed the length of this list.

I know it was hard for me to pull the ride list together this week. El Tour follow up, photos, work, family, turkey… I was even asked by a national blog to write an El Tour wrap up article. It will be appearing in GranFondo.com sometime in the near future. I put a copy of it with links on my blog

https://bikepilgrim.com/?p=632.

This is the most challenging week of the year for many cyclist. They just spent months preparing for El Tour and now that the goal has been achieved they put the bike up in the garage and don’t look at it until next fall. Hopefully, this ride list will help you find some motivation to keep going. Personally, I think the Tour de Cure on April 19^th is an exceptional ride to train for. Not only is it great motivation, but it also raises funds for the ADA. For some types of diabetes, riding and being active can help manage it and may even delay or stop the onset in the first place.

Have a great week and I look forward to seeing you on the road and in the dirt.

Ride on,

Damion

The cost for the average home owner will be less than $18.00 a year. Have questions. Please call me, Damion, at 520-977-5664. I’ve spent hundreds of hours working on this and have facts.

RIDE ON THE CAPITAL. January 19th 2016.For years we have been attempting to pass legislation in Arizona for the safety of all cyclist. The time has come for all riders to unite and pay our elected officials a visit. The vision is for all bikes: Road, Mountain Bikes, Commuters, recumbent, Trikes, Unicycles and anything else you can pedal or ride to attend. Bike shops and cycle supportive businesses from around the state will participate and have prizes for those who ride the farthest to get to the capital, those who bring the largest groups, and just random prizes for participating. https://www.facebook.com/events/1659759360905979/

So many great rides, so little time. It is the time of the year that many of the shop rides start to change start times, so make sure to double check before you head out. On the plus side, this time of year they are later, so it may just mean you are early.

There is a great ride for Habitat For Humanity.on Saturday the 17^th. With four different routes, including a 10 mile recreational ride, 30 mile and 60 mile road rides, and a 30 mile mountain bike ride, this event provides an experience for everyone. Following your ride, join our construction volunteers and new homeowners to build and raise the walls for three new houses. What a great opportunity to go for a ride and help make our community better.

PIMA COUNTY BOND ELECTION. If the bond passes it will have a huge impact on the cycling community. The projects that will benefit the cyclist include the Velodrome, 2 BMX parks, The Loop (and other non-mechanized trails), repaving roads, open space for MTB trails, and new trailheads. The cost for the average home owner will be less than $18.00 a year. Have questions. Please call me, Damion, at 520-977-5664. I’ve spent hundreds of hours working on this and have facts. If you have a concern, I’m here to answer them or direct you to the sources that are available to help you make an informed decision.
RIDE ON THE CAPITAL. January 19^th 2016. For years we have been attempting to pass legislation in Arizona for the safety of all cyclist. The time has come for all riders to unite and pay our elected officials a visit. The vision is for all bikes: Road, Mountain Bikes, Commuters, recumbent, Trikes, Unicycles and anything else you can pedal or ride to attend. Bike shops and cycle supportive businesses from around the state will participate and have prizes for those who ride the farthest to get to the capital, those who bring the largest groups, and just random prizes for participating. https://www.facebook.com/events/1659759360905979/

Early voting started this week for the Pima County Bond Election.

Speaking from the “Bike” prospective, there are many reasons to vote yes on all 7 bond propositions. I have gone through every item and broken down what is good for cycling. It has funding for roads, the loop, bmx tracks, trailheads, new trails, open space and more. If you want the detailed list please email Damion@damionalexander.com and say Bonds and Bikes in the subject. No matter how you feel or vote, remember, our Democracy only serves those that show up on election day.

Bike shops and cycle supportive businesses from around the state will participate and have prizes for those who ride the farthest to get to the capital, those who bring the largest groups, and just random prizes for participating. https://www.facebook.com/events/1659759360905979/
