Community Bike Ride List December 13-19

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 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!

Whiskey Off Road 7 races. One fun weekend. Pro Crits, kids race, 25, 50, and pro 50 races. 40K Purse. April 24 – April 26, 2015. Prescott http://www.epicrides.com/index.php?contentCat=6

 

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.

Community Bike Ride List 11.22.14 – 11.29.14

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 1st. 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.

Weekly Community Bike Ride List 11.15.14 – 11.21.14

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…

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 as a courtesy. It is all public information that is put here to make life easier for those looking for a bike ride. Biking can be dangerous. 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.

The Community Bike Ride List 11.8.14-11-14.14

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.

2014 24 Hours in the Old Pueblo

I have discovered some major flaws with this Epic Mountain Bike Event.  There simply is not enough time to do everything that I want to do in the time allowed.  Friends show up who I only see once or twice a year whom I could spend an entire weekend with, but only get to have casual conversations.  Food and libations are at every camp, but I’m only able to gorge myself so much.  I want to take photos of everything, from El Grupo, the campgrounds, the party scene, my son, Samuel, the night scene, the Desert, and then there is this race.

My proposal is that we expand the event to the entire month of February.

It is Thursday after the race, and I am finally getting back into the “normal” groove of  life.  All of the pictures I took are uploaded to.  This time I broke them down into smaller categories.  If you missed any, here they are.

Entry opens for 24 Hours AND the Dirty/Lush Bunny

Who would stay up until midnight for the chance to register for a limited opportunity to race solo in the 24 hours in the Old Pueblo?   Apparently, it is a whole Lotta folk.  Every year the Solo category fills up the first day.  What makes someone want to push themselves to do this ride Solo?  Personally having done it twice I think the answer is something between a lack of common sense and a desire to see how far you can push your body.

Having trained for the race I think the actual training was a greater challenge than the actual race.  I once mentioned To Todd Sadow, promoter extraordinaire of Epic Rides, that the Solo is potentially the ultimate race as you can go out and do your thing and not be responsible for a team.  If you ride 2 or 16 laps, it is your race.  I think he did not like the idea of the people signing up with the intent of doing a few casual laps and saying you were a “solo” rider.  Especially since it is limited to so few riders and many who would really try it is robbing some legitimate riders of the opportunity to ride.  Whatever your intent, best of luck in signing up.  It is an incredible experience and one I’m sure I’ll do again some time soon (but not that soon).

Coincidentally, another race, The Dirty Bunny, was scheduled for a 12:01 registration this evening, but has moved registration back to 5:30 AM so the race director can monitor the entries in real time.  It is limited to only 50 riders.  This secret race is a participant favorite.  The cost of the race is a 6 pack of your favorite craft beer.  The race is a 12 lap race on the Bunny loop at Fantasy Island. When the first rider completed the 60 miles the race is over.   All riders essentially finish within a 30 minute period.  Afterwards, the party begins.  There are two categories, one where you must drink a can of PBR or do a shot after each lap called the lush bunny (only 12 spots).   I’m excited to say I’m the completely unofficial official photographer of this event and might just pop up here and there to click a few images of this race.

Here is a link to photos from last years race.    https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152701755635154.1073741840.228735085153&type=3
