Community Bike Ride List for The Holiday Season

Bike Advisory Committee meeting, Bike Advocacy, Charity Event, Community Bike Events, Community Bike Ride List, Established Group Rides, Ride 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The Community Bike Ride List 11.8.14-11-14.14

    Bike Advisory Committee meeting, Bike Advocacy, Bike Friendly Laws, Charity Event, Community Bike Events, Community Bike Ride List, El Grupo, Established Group Rides, Mountain Bike, Ride List, The Loop, Training, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

    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.

    Another At”tack” near Catalina Highway

    Uncategorized, , , , ,

    This following is from a letter I was CCéd on about another incident of tacks on the road near Catalina Highway.  This time on Snyder.  Just a reminder, we have created a fund that has $2,869 dollars for info that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) putting tacks on the road.  If you want to donate to the fund, contact me, Damion Alexander, at damion@damionalexander.com or call 520-977-5664.  If you have info on the tacks call the Pima County Sherriff dept.

    Tack bike #2 August 25th 8am
    Another tack in the road on August 25,2013

    My wife and I  both flatted from silver colored tacks while riding our road bikes @ 8am today on Snyder Rd. We estimate that we ran over the tacks 1000 yrds west of Catalina hwy. There is no shoulder on this road, we were riding approximately a foot from the edge of the road when we both heard the tires clicking and then went flat. We did not see anyone near the road or a parked car etc, or someone capable of throwing them. Cyclists ride this road everyday, we would assume the tacks were placed on the road recently.

    We have also had flats from gold colored tacks thrown on the bike shoulder on Catalina hwy northbound near Snyder earlier this spring. This is the first tack incident that we know of in this area since the tacks issue appeared on the tv news a few months ago and a reward  offered. The silver colored tacks are virtually impossible to see on the road while riding.

    Regards

    Brian
