Thanks to last week's guest, Polar adventurer, Eric Larsen. This week Bill and I are outside of our 303 jurisdiction and getting geared up for El Tour de Tucson. That's right we are recording from the TdT Village. It's a big weekend of endurance events in Arizona with TdT on Saturday and Ironman Arizona in Tempe on Sunday.

Event date is Saturday, November 19, 2022.

 

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT EL TOUR DE TUCSON

 

El Tour de Tucson is now preparing to host the 39th year for what we think is one of the premier bicycling events in the country.  We hope you participate in this year’s event on November 19, 2022.  You won’t be alone given that annually over 7,000 cyclists participate in the renowned and popular event with distances from 102 miles to family fun rides of 1 mile!

 

Did you know that El Tour de Tucson enables nonprofit, charitable agencies to raise funds for their respective organizations?  Learn about their programs and sign up to ride on their teams here.  Since 1983, Perimeter Bicycling events have raised over $100 million for local and international charitable organizations.  This significant milestone – a target of ours for some time – was reached after we helped 35 non-profits raise a collective $5.8 million in 2019.

 

New Routes! New Start/Finish Lines! New Start Times!

 

Perimeter Bicycling and El tour de Tucson are thrilled to start 2022 with unveiling of exciting new ride routes.  All Rides/Routes start and finish at the Tucson Convention Center and the surrounding area.
