On this weeks ride list many of the rides are geared towards El Tour De Tucson training. If you have not registered for El Tour and are considering it, please look at riding for one of the great charities. Personally, I’m riding for Tu Nidito again this year. Look, Save a Life Arizona is another I recommend riding for. If you would rather just donate, please consider donating to my ride. The link is below.

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.
