Tour de Poor

Riding 100+ miles in Phoenix

What happens when you realize that you don't want to pay the money to enter the Tour de Tucson? You make up your own ride!

We had the goal of riding in the Tour de Tucson for a few months now, and as the date approached, we decided that it would be best if we saved our money for other things (beyond the cost of the tour, which would have been at least $300, there is the cost of gas, lodging, food, etc.)

So, for those of you who are adventurous and want to come and ride with us, here's the First Annual Tour de Poor, Phoenix Edition!!!

We'll be starting from Christie's house in Tempe, AZ at 6:00 am. After that ...

If you want to join us for any part of the ride, or eat with us afterward, please feel free to let us know. If you want to ride with us for any part of it (and we would love the company), let us know which part and we will send you a text message when we are approaching the spot that you would want to ride.

Also, if you want to join us for the early dinner afterward, we'll start cooking hamburgers and hot dogs around 5:00 pm. Please bring a side dish or dessert.
