IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE ADDED TO THE WEEKLY EMAIL LIST PLEASE 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 to like to give a second name, Please give mine. Many agents spend money advertising for new business, others sit open houses or cold call. My business is based on referrals from past friends and clients. The less time I have to do traditional prospecting the more I can do for the cycling community. For example: this list.

Many of the rides I have pulled from the following resources. I have done my best to be accurate, but with a weekly project like this, I am sure there will be occasional errors. Also, rides sometimes are canceled or changed. If you show up and no one is there, do what I do. Go for a bike ride. It makes everything better.
