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.

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.

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 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 Dothis 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 Sunday is the Tucson Tour De Cure . If you are looking for a fully supported ride please come out and join us. The Damion Alexander Team is a huge supporter of the American Diabetes Association, Tour De Cure, Team Type 1 and a sponsor for this event. I am asked to support dozens of charities each year and the reason I feel so passionate about the ADA is that by riding a bike and being active you can stop the onset of type 2 diabetes. Team Type 1 has a professional cycling team made up entirely of type 1 diabetics. The efforts they put out shows a “can do” attitude in the face of adversity that I believe we all have inside us. You don’t need to have Tour De France aspirations to live a better, healthier and happier lifestyle. I look forward to seeing you Sunday.

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.

Did you miss registering for 24 hours I the Old Pueblo? The CONSIDER YOURSELF CHALLENGED! AN INSPIRATIONAL COMMUNITY EVENT FOR CAF has a solo or tandem entry up for grabs. Check out more details below in the events section. Do you have an event you would like to share? Let me know.

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.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! My gift for you is all the rides all in one place.

If you would do me a favor in return (It’s actually for you), can you take 90 seconds and fill this from out.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1dYZtqKFdnyz_ILEUxz3HBMTN_fcW7P_RlV8plJ5AzE/viewform. It is for putting a Velodrome on the next bond election. I appreciate that many of you will never use this, but it is good for the cycling community as a whole. The day will come when your single track, BMX track or favorite road is in need of support and I’ll be asking others to step up and support you as well. This is about making Southern Arizona the best cycling community in the Universe.

This weeks Community Ride List includes rides for the next few weeks. Personally, I’m planning my rides over the vacation and it was nice to see everything for a few weeks in one place. Tucson MTB puts out a list of the 8 days of Mountain Bike Rides. This list helps expand that to the 15 Mountain Bike Rides. If the road is your thing there are 19 rides over the holiday season. That does not even include the standard weekly rides.

Looking for Motivation in 2015? Check out the race section. Mountain Biking Associaion and USA Cycling posted their spring races and they are all listed here as well as some charity events.

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!

Barrio Trails

August 16, 2013BMX, El Grupo, Mountain BikeBarrio Trails, Bikepilgrim, bikepilgrim.com, BMX, El Grupo, Hidden Gems, High School Mountain Bike, Mountain Bike, Tucsonbikepilgrim

Barrio Trails, One of central Tucson’s hidden bicycle gems is located in the San Antonio neighborhood South Of Broadway and a few blocks East of Park.

Originally the vision of Rocky Serna it existed as an unauthorized BMX park that sat on the Arroyo Chico. At the time it was built it was the only organized place for catching some huge air and to ride BMX in central Tucson.

A few years back the U.S. Army corps of Engineers were called in to do a flood control project in the area and this bike hang out was threatened to be demolished. However, due to an incredible turnout from the community Barrio Trails was saved. The original track that was constructed by volunteers was removed during construction, but permission was granted to put in a permanent BMX track.

The flood control work is now completed and work has started to carve out the berms, kickers, rollers and a half mile Mountain Bike Crit course around the entire park. As of august, 2013 it is coming along, but still has room for improvement.

El Grupo Youth Cycling uses Barrio Trails for mountain bike practice. The existing BMX track is the start of the half mile loop. There are four berms that help hone in turning skills. Upon exiting the last turn the trail takes a sharp turn through 3 bollards onto a paved path that drops into the Arroyo Chico. The wash has a sandy bottom( and mud after the rain) that needs to be negotiated with speed in order to climb a steep bank on the other side. Just past the top of the bank is a 2 foot high wire rope fence. The idea is to clear the fence cycle cross style and jump back on the paved track. The Pavement carries you for nearly half the distance of the loop and is the place to make up ground and hammer as hard as you can. At the South-east corner of the park the course takes a hard right back onto the dirt, descends a little hill, crosses a flat straight away, another hill climb and another slightly winding flat that ends with a race to the finish.

Yesterday The El Grupo practice was to ride from the clubhouse to Barrio Trails and then to spend 15 minutes warming up, playing on the BMX track, doing a few laps, working on sections of the trail that may have given the riders trouble in the past. Afterwards the races were on. The race started with a mass start and was 3 laps. The A team went off first to give the B and C teams an opportunity to watch the race from sections that gave them trouble. I rode in the A team race. It was a solid performance, I did not win, but was not last and saw the winner cross the finish line. The B team race had the A team riders pacing the kids after the first lap. I was pleasantly surprised that Samuel came in second. His breakthrough week apparently has impacted his Mountain Biking as well as his road riding.

Throughout the fall El Grupo will be out practicing at Barrio Trails almost every Thursday afternoon at about 4:45-5:45 as they prepare for the High School Mountain Bike League inaugural season. At some point in the near future they will have access to tools and will start to groom the trails. Are you interested in seeing it first hand? Come out and ride or watch the fun.

On a side note. You can thank me for the rain. It was almost guaranteed when I took my camera without any protection from the elements.

BMX racing For a great cause on Aug 17, 2013

Race for Life at Xtreme Fun Spot on Saturday, Aug. 17

BMX riders, don’t miss the Race for Life benefit for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society on Saturday, Aug. 17, at the Xtreme Fun Spot BMX track at 6901 N. Casa Grande Highway, southwest of Interstate 10 and Ina Road.
Registration is $20 and runs from 4 to 6 p.m. Spectators get in free.
Xtreme Fun Spot operators Kirk and Julie Vaughn were inspired by their daughter’s best friend, Amber Walker, to organize the benefit.
Amber was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia three days before her 14th birthday. She had to quit attending school and give up cheerleading to spend an average of four days a week at the hospital. She has been undergoing treatment for nearly two years. With one more year of chemotherapy to go, she has returned to high school and cheerleading, and her family and friends all hope that she will live a long, healthy, cancer-free life.
“Xtreme Fun Spot is doing this because we want to give back and raise awareness,” Julie Vaughn said. “The proceeds go to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to aid in research for patients like Amber. This is close to our heart.”
Xtreme Fun Spot is Pima County’s newest BMX park.
Registration for regular racing starts at 5 p.m. on Mondays and Saturdays and for practice at 5 p.m. Wednesdays. Xtreme Fun Spot closes after the last race (before dark). Admission for spectators is free but racing costs $10 and practice is $5.
Visit Pima County’s BMX parks online for more information or call the Natural Resources, Parks and Recreation Department at (520) 877-6000.

Seeking BICYCLE-THEMED ART donations to benefit BICAS. Art will be displayed at the 20th Annual Art Auction in December.
