Arizona Bicycle Center, Bike Advisory Committee meeting, Bike Advocacy, Bikes and Beverages (beer and booze), Charity Event, Community Bike Events, Community Bike Ride List, Established Group Rides, Mountain Bike, Ride List, Road Construction, Stolen Bikes, The Loop, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

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.

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.

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, 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.

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.

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 past weekend Tucson had an incredible day for pedaling. It started with the GABA Bike Swap and continued with Cyclovia Tucson, Cyclocross and adult beverages at Tap and Bottle and in the parking lot of Ordinary Bike Shop.

I posted on my facebook page over 800 images of the day in 14 Albums. The links are below or look at The Damion Alexander Team on facebook.

These photos are a major time commitment and it is my pleasure to take the photos and share them with you. All I ask in return for the photos is that you remember I’m A REALTOR.

Once 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, 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.

Entry opens for 24 Hours AND the Dirty/Lush Bunny

Bikes and Beverages (beer and booze), Mountain Bike, , , ,

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.
