El Tour de Mesa

07 Apr 2018 - Mesa, Arizona

This bicycling event is for cyclists of all ages and abilities.

Ride the perimeter of Mesa and enjoy the beautiful scenery as you circle Red Mountain. El Tour, with 2,000 riders in the various distances, is the centerpiece of CycloMesa, a bicycling celebration that includes a zip line, rock wall, BMX Freestyle Show, the Kid’s Zone and more!

Cyclists choose a metric century or half century or the Fun Ride of 10 or 5 miles. There is a ride distance for everyone and opportunities to earn gifts, prizes and awards.

El Tour benefits Marc Community Resources, Inc. and supports Uphill Into the Wind. Your registration through Perimeter Bicycling benefits these great charities and there are special programs that you can elect to be a part of.

Finish Line Fiesta is accompanied by a beer garden, vendors, food trucks and more! It’s an opportunity to see, hear, feel and experience bicycling. Enjoy the festivities on streets closed to motorized traffic and watch the finishers of El Tour! El Tour’s Grand Cycling Awards Ceremony will be on stage at Cyclomesa – join the fun and celebrate cycling!

The short “main event” distance: 50K (34 mi) features a remote start at 8.15 at Red Mountain Ranch Elementary School: 6650 Raftriver in Mesa, close to Thomas and Bush Hwy. It will finish in downtown Mesa, AZ with the other events. We expect to have a shuttle from the finish line back to the school if you’ve not made other arrangements.

Cost:

Either pay an entry fee to Perimeter Bicycling (which increases over time), or agree to and raise $200 or more for Marc Community Resources, Inc.

Event Benefits for all Registered Cyclists
