This should be called Cycling Week TUCSON! The granddaddy of Tucson Cycling, the event that has put us on the map, El Tour de Tucson is Saturday. The route this year heads South East and South. It’s nice to let your friends in these areas know what to expect so they are not frustrated with delays. Better yet… comne out and cheer on the cyclists. The expo at the TCC is a three day event this year and is worth checking out, even if you are not riding. There will be live Music, food trucks, beer gardens, and a packed convention center with all sorts of vendors.
One new event that’s a part of El Tour is a 5K run. I’m mentioning it because many cyclists have a significant other who might run, but feels left out on race day. Have them come down, run and then hang out at the after party and cheer on the cyclists. A good time for everyone.
The road does not call all who ride. And this weekend a few alternative events are out there. Old Pueblo MTB and Our MTB have MTB rides this weekend. The sandbox showdown is a fat tired bike ride through the washes of Tucson. There will likely be some drinking and other forms of mental adjusting on this route. The El Tour de Chiva also is back. This is a mountain bike ride to Chiva Falls. Bring your own water and other liquids, the falls and the rest of the desert are dry.
I’m big on tradition and can’t imagine not having El Tour De Mural on Sunday. However, Joe can’t make it this year, so I’m leading a very informal ride. The last few years we have been well over 100 rides. This year I’m hoping for a more more manageable crowd. So, this is the only promo. 9:00 for coffee and donuts and Foot in Pedal at 9:30 from the mercado.
In case you did not know, I do this list because I have a passion for cycling, but it does not pay any bills. In order to find the time to do this list all I ask is if you are thinking of buying or selling real estate, or know someone who is, please let me know. Real Estate pays the bills and I can either do traditional real estate marketing like sitting open houses and making cold calls, or provide an actual service, like this ride list. Please and Thanks.
If you know of a ride that’s not on the list, please contact me. Best is text 520-977-5664 or email damion@damionalexander.com.
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
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.
