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.

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!

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.
