CycloMesa – Tour De Mesa, Two Wheel Jones Crit and Arizona Bike Summit

 

The city of Mesa opened its arms to the Arizona cycling community with the Arizona Bike Summit, Tour De Mesa, Two Wheel Jones Crit and other activities in the 5th annual Cyclomesa Celebration.

I think this is a great template for what Tucson can do to attract even more people to El Tour De Tucson.
