This annual event is held the Saturday before Thanksgiving. Participants can cycle 109, 79, 64 or 40 miles. This year over 8600 riders participated in the fundraising event. The cycle routes go through the scenic areas of Tucson, with beautiful vistas of its local mountain ranges – three rising over 9,000 feet complete with the backdrop of the mighty saguaro cactus, icon of the Southwest’s Sonoran Desert. To get a photographic feel for the annual event, I choose to photograph the nearby 64 mile start in the foothills and along Sunrise Drive.

What a gorgeous day for a turnout! -and an impressive turnout at that. Is this something you may participate in next year? 🙂
. . . yes, the shorter start.
