El Tour de Tucson 2008

November 21, 2008 | By Kelley Koehler | Filed Under Tucson Events 

image This Saturday, November 22nd, is the 26th Annual El Tour de Tucson.  I’m not an avid cyclist, myself, but the event draws somewhere around 9000 cyclists to Tucson to participate in rides from the 1/4 mile Kids Fun Ride to the 109 mile full Tour of Tucson.

There are maps of the El Tour de Tucson route here – even if you don’t go out and watch or participate, understand there’ll be some road closures and limitations for this event!

My Phoenix buddy Steve Belt is participating this year.  If you see him whooshing by, wave hello!

    This is one time, where Cow Bell would actually be appropriate…

    Since one of the main reasons I plan to retire to AZ is to spend my days bicycling, I’d love to hear Steve’s opinion of the ultimate AZ town for a bicycle lover. Then again, having just returned from a 1.5 hour ride in 29F CT weather, with a 30 mph north wind turning my toes to toecicles, any town in AZ sounds pretty good right now.

Got something to say?
