Tumacacori Success!!











First THANKS GABA!!!!








So Gaba every year before the El Tour does a whole bunch for the cycling community in Tucson. They put on all sorts of training rides and centuries so the locals can ramp up and get ready. So for the past two years El Grupo has taken full advantage of this awesomness and has partcipated in the Tumacacori Century ride.


The bike ride starts in Sahuarita, just south of town, and heads further way south to the old mission at Tumacacori.


El Grupo has many riders that are trying to get ready to do the whole distance of El Tour 109 miles, so we decided to try and do 80 this weekend with the help of GABA.


We made it for sure, and the best part is we all learned a lot and realize that the month we have left is important. We are on track but I want all parents and riders to know that this next month is critical. We have to do all the little things right. Eat well. Sleep well and enough. Drink a lot and no soda or sugar drinks. Come to practice ready to work hard and to learn. We can do it, but we have to be mentally and physically ready. I am proud of what we did and I hope all riders are as well. Thanks for a great ride team!
