Upcoming Rides...El Tour De Tucson (With a twist)

The CycleQuest continues in the great state of Arizona.

This year El Tour De Tucson celebrates its 25th anniversary on November 17th. El Tour is a great ride put on by a wonderful organization called PBAA (www.pbaa.com). El Tour is a 109 mile ride around the perimeter of Tucson with about 10,000 of your closest cycling friends (This year 11,000 are expected). The start line of El Tour De Tucson is about 125 miles from my home in Tempe...which is where the twist comes in. I thought this would be a perfect oportunity for a short 3-day CycleQuest ovarian cancer awareness ride.

It has been four months since the inagural CycleQuest ride across the heartland from Vail to Hannibal; it is time to put the signs and symptoms in front of the public again. The plan is to ride down to Tucson Friday, ride El Tour De Tucson Saturday and then ride back home Sunday...about 360 miles for the weekend! Bob Lewis (inagural CycleQuest team member)is slated to participate in this event, too.

Please stay tuned...more to follow! Daily updates from the road starting 11/16!
