El Tour de Tucson returns for its 38th year! Nearly 6,000 cyclists participate in this class Tucson event.

The Ride

Traditionally held annually the Saturday before Thanksgiving, the 38th El Tour htakes place on November 20, 2021. El Tour de Tucson is a fundraising ride that features nearly 6,000 cyclists of all ages and abilities from the United States and worldwide. Participants range from novice to professional as they ride either the 100-, 57-, 28-mile rides. There is also a Fun Ride consisting of 10-, 5- and 1-mile rides.

The Participants

El Tour riders share a desire to ride, meet great people, raise contributions for charities and have fun. Participants enjoy the ride and its festivities out of a passion for cycling, as a benchmark for a wellness program, as a symbol of surviving a major illness or other life challenge or to honor another person.

The Non-Profit Partners

First and foremost, El Tour is charity event. In its 37 years, more than $101 million has been raised through El Tour by over 100 different local and national nonprofit organizations. El Tour surpassed the $100M mark in 2019 after charities combined to raise $5.8 million. Learn about the various nonprofits and sign up to ride on their teams here.

The Route

Main event distances are 100, 57 and 28 miles. The Chapman Automotive Group Fun Ride distances are 10, 5 and 1 miles. Main event routes feature beautiful landscapes of Tucson and Southern Arizona and the crisp, cool air of the Tucson winter. Of course, mountain ranges and the desert’s signature saguaro cactus are highlighted throughout the route.  Course profiles range from flat to rolling or moderately hilly. The 28-mile route is mostly flat, which is great for families and ideal for a first-time to beginning. Check out the route details and cue sheets on our website.

SALTILLO CONNECTIONS IN NAVAJO WEAVING presented by the Arizona State Museum.

Navajo tapestry weaver Lynda Teller Pete will discuss the connections in Navajo and Zapotec weaving with a focus on styles and designs. She will examine the Rio Grande style which was predominately popular prior to 1900. These designs are created with serrated diamonds, center-dominant motifs, and enclosing borders. By year 1900, Navajo styles and designs were much more in demand and the Rio Grande style faded in popularity among Navajo weavers. Following her presentation, Zapotec weaver Porfirio Gutiérrez will join Pete for the Q & A.
