Young Tucson cyclists will have two opportunities to ride together and connect with the local cycling community in November.
El Grupo Youth Cycling, Wheel Fun and Project Bike Club will host a youth bike rally at 11 a.m. on Nov. 7 at Menlo Park. The event is open to children participating in school-based bike clubs and will include a group ride and snacks. Cyclist Lael Wilcox and representatives from Outride, a non-profit organization that uses cycling to improve youth mental health, are also expected to attend.
The following day, El Grupo will host its annual Fall Fondo from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Nov. 8 at its clubhouse, 610 N Ninth Ave. The event will feature two road rides, a mountain bike ride and a children’s derby, along with food and music.
El Grupo Youth Cycling, founded in 2004, is a Tucson nonprofit that uses bicycling to help young people build riding skills, responsibility, communication and leadership, according to a news release.
