Tour de Scottsdale

The HonorHealth Tour de Scottsdale offers challenging and scenic courses that will undoubtedly push the limits of cyclists

Tour de Scottsdale brings cyclists from all over the country and beyond. This year’s Tour de Scottsdale brings a unique story of a cyclists’ journey through life’s ups and downs.

“Iron Dad” Paul Weigel has been through it all. From the lessons learned as a father, to dealing with the battle of colorectal cancer, and competing in ironman triathlons.

Why Iron Dad? Well, that name is special, and one of the main reasons behind his perseverance. 

When his daughter Natalie was born, Weigel dropped his life in Seattle and moved to Tempe, Arizona to be the father that his daughter needed. From day one, he was determined to create an unbreakable bond with his daughter, now 16.

“Natalie is so great, I have got one of the good ones,” Weigel said. “She's just been a great student and is happy and healthy and living her best life. It has been so neat to see her grow up and then be part of some different things.”

Now in between the Iron and Dad might be some words like: survivor, fighter, warrior, others. After beating colorectal cancer, it took only 10 years for Weigel to decide to become an Ironman athlete.

Weigel has now completed six ironman triathlon events, which is where the iron part of iron dad comes in. However, his adventures don’t stop there. His next challenge? Tour de Scottsdale on March 28, 2026.

 “I rode two years ago,” he said, “and I've ridden El Tour de Tucson a few different times, too.”

Weigel suffered an injury before last year’s ride and had to miss Tour de Scottsdale. He’ll be riding the 62-mile distance, and the excitement is through the roof, given he’s ridden in it before.

“It was good, it was the first year back up in a long time and it was, I think, so cool to be out in north Scottsdale,” he said.

From his fight against cancer, Weigel has always made sure that he has his support group in everything he does, that’ll include this year’s Tour de Scottsdale.

“That's one of the things that really gets lost of riding individually … is how many other riders there are, and the power (it involves) and doing it together,” he said.

More than 3,000 riders are expected for this year’s Tour de Scottsdale with everyone having a story … including Weigel.

The family that loves together, cycles together.

At least that’s the case with the Bailey family … and as it pertains to the Tour de Scottsdale and other rides.

You see, the Baileys love the ride, and because Tour de Scottsdale is back after a handful of years, so are the Bailey's. They will have eight – yes, eight – cyclists at this year’s event on April 13. They are team: United We Ride.

Team Bailey "United We Ride"

“We are super excited for the Tour de Scottsdale and happy that we have this amazing opportunity to ride in it again,” said Jamie Bailey, the mom.

The Bailey family has been riding together since 2007, thanks to husband, Eric’s parent’s (Rose and Gary), who are “big cyclists.”

At the time, it was all new to Jamie, given five knee surgeries. The rides started in 2010 for a ride that went from Seattle to Portland (STP).

Slowly but surely the family – the youngsters, too – started to join the rides, as did Jamie. 

“When our oldest son turned 10, he joined our family team and completed the ride on his own bicycle in 2019,” she said. “Our two younger children also wanted to do the ride when they turned 10but then Covid happened, and our family took a break from participating in the STP.”

Now, they are back on the bike and “excited to be riding together again!” she said. “Our kids are now 11 (Jasmine), 12 (Kai) and 15 (Jarem) years old. Our kids are on their own bicycles participating, but they've spent countless hours in bike trailers with us from the time they were born.”

Jasmine (l) Jarem (m) and Kai 

Cycling is in their blood, as is the love for cycling in the Valley. They’ve done a few of them, including El Tour de Mesa and, of course, Tour de Scottsdale.

They are ramping up for the April 13 ride quite nicely.

“Our rides have been going well so far and we've been slowly building up the miles of training for our daughter since she's the newest member to join our team,” Jamie said. “We love the exercise that cycling provides but more importantly, we love spending the time together outdoors.”

A bonus – to the family dynamic – Eric’s parents are flying in from Washington to ride along with his aunt Linda, who will be renting a bicycle to join in. It’s also the two youngest first ride. 

“We are so lucky to have three generations of cyclists spending this time together!” she said. “My in-laws are specifically to thank for bringing cycling into our lives. They've taken many cycling tours to other countries and have had the opportunity to see the world from the comfort of their bicycles. Rose and Gary have been tremendous mentors and coaches for all of us.”

Some members will ride the 62-miler and others the 32-miler but will be together – in spirit, too - on the ride.

“We love the Tour de Scottsdale and can't wait to ride together,” Jamie said. 

See everyone there!

What lengths would a parent go for their child to make sure they are happy and healthy?

Well, Kristina and Stephen Johnston have done everything they can and more.

They want to make sure their child sees a bright future. 

So, they’ve started A Race Against Blindness, a nonprofit to end childhood blindness.

Back in 2021, her then 8-year-old son, Luke, was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition that causes the loss of eyesight. It’s called retinitis pigmentosa and “he’s going blind.”

Luke

“We’ve struggled with a lot of grief and denial for a number of years as any parents would, but in 2023 we started the nonprofit,” said Kristina, a non-practicing nurse who now runs the nonprofit.

They had been told “there was nothing we could do about it” in a cure.

Now, they will be part of Tour de Scottsdale as a nonprofit trying to raise money to help the non-profit. They will ride in the event, as well. To help by donating visit here.

Luke, Kristina & Tyler

Back in 2021, the family, her ex-husband (Stephen), a physician, did some research and found a biotech company in the United Kingdom that has an animal model with Luke’s, condition. It’s so rare that only 2,000 kids or so have the condition.

“The fact that they have an animal model that has it is wild,” Kristina said. “And they have treatments that they brought all the way through the animal clinical trials, and they're ready to launch into safety trials in humans.”

They have since networked with their healthcare community in the United States and have teamed up with the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, which has agreed to be a clinical site for a trial.

“We are fundraising to make this trial happen,” she said. “Hopefully we will be able to save the eyesight of 1000s of kids.”

More importantly, “we have real hope that it will work,” she said. 

Now, as their website says, “We’re on the cusp of funding a clinical trial for a revolutionary new gene therapy. Our goal is to cure retinitis pigmentosa caused by Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS) – a rare but devastating cause of childhood blindness.”

When first diagnosed, They didn’t want to tell Luke what he was up against.

“We just wanted him to enjoy his enjoy his childhood,” she said. “But, when we started the nonprofit, we knew we were going to be talking about the issue and advocating for it. We had to sit down and have a conversation with him about it. So, he knows.”

Of course, children know. He’s getting services at school and learning what assistance devices are available to him. He’s learning Braile.

“He’s just a normal, sweet 10-year-old kid,” Kristina said. “His eyesight right now is  okay, 20-50 vision, but with his condition the first thing that happens is his retina actually starts to degenerate. He loses vision in low light … eventually, it’s like looking at life through a straw.”

He’s expected to be legally blind as a teenager, so time is of the essence. 

“We decided this year we’re going to do everything we can to launch the clinical trial,” she said.

And the race is on!

Logan Walker and Lupita Hernandez are looking forward to the second Tour de Scottsdale. They are long-time cyclists and love the outdoors.

And they are blind.

But that hasn’t stopped them from getting on a bike and enjoying a tailwind or two.

They will be part of an eight-person team riding for ACBVI in Tour de Scottsdale. The other six are not blind.

“I have always been an active person and enjoy the outdoors so riding in Tour de Scottsdale with my friends is an opportunity I will never pass up,”  Walker said. “Before my vision loss, I loved the open air and the freedom I felt when riding a bicycle.”

Logan, left, & David Decero, ACBVI board member

Walker and Hernandez will be on tandem cycles. Logan has been on a tandem just “a handful of times.”

Hernandez has ridden for years – and in El Tour de Tucson, too - and has ridden for groups and nonprofits through the years.

“I’m prepared,” Hernandez said, of Tour de Scottsdale coming up on April 12 at WestWorld of Scottsdale.

Lupita Hernandez, right

Walker is prepared, too, fresh off a group ride to get ready.

“I am honored ACBVI asked me to participate in this event,” Walker said. “This center has done so much for me that when they ask something of me, especially an outdoor activity, it’s an immediate yes.”

So, they will be part of more than 2,500 riding in the second Tour de Scottsdale.

And ACBVI will benefit from their presence.

ACBVI has been empowering people with vision loss since 1947. Their highly skilled and experienced multi-disciplinary team of professionals offer individualized training utilizing state-of-the-art technologies and proven rehabilitation practices. 

ACBVI assists clients in coping with vision loss – with courage and dignity and a “can-do attitude.”

Their mission fits Hernandez and Walker.

“To facilitate independence and promote full participation in all spheres of life for those who experience vision loss,” the mission says.

ACBVI serves about 300 individuals per year and has been in Phoenix for more than 75 years.

This is one of the events ACBVI provides for their clients, including snow skiing, kayaking and rock climbing and water-related sports.

“We’re helping people learn the world as a sighted person, relearn it as a blind person,” said Michele Hargreaves, Chief Development Officer for ACBVI. “It's a little bit different than being born blind. That's what ACBVI does – we work with these adults. We help them regain their independence through things like learning how to access assistive technology, orientation and mobility, learning how to navigate and travel independently with a guide cane. And then, we offer vocational rehabilitation to help them get back to work.”

It's a way to regain “their independence,” she added, “and provide some social recreation.”

Hernandez, blind since birth, works for the organization as a contractor.

“I am passionate about teaching (others),” she said. “It’s amazing and an honor to be a part of my client’s lives as they improve their activities of daily living, literacy skills in braille and technology. There’s a vocational portion and a recreational portion to all this.”

Most importantly, she – and others – want people “to be aware about my condition and that I want to be treated like anybody else.”

The Arizona Blood Alliance nonprofit will have about 10 cyclists at the 20th Tour de Scottsdale – and they can’t wait to ride.

Anything to help their organization raise money for a good – no, great – cause.

In fact, they put on at least a couple of events a year to help their cause, but knowing Tour de Scottsdale is back and has a reputation for being a big event, they have joined to possibly have a bigger impact on the charity.

“We don’t do anything of this magnitude,” said Cindy Komar, the nonprofit’s executive director. “This has been great, just by having a greater reach, being able to use the infrastructure that is available to us. It’s difficult for us to do on our own.”

It’s one of the reasons why Tour de Scottsdale is here: to help others help themselves, assisting more than 20 nonprofits raise money.

Arizona Blood Alliance (ABA) provides advocacy, education, and community for those living with inherited blood conditions in Arizona. ABA provides a unified voice for those living with inherited blood conditions and provides education to patients and their families. They provide financial and emotional support for those they serve to help improve their quality of life. 

“A lot of times bike riding is actually really good for (those affected),” Komar said. “A sport like this (helps). We want people to be active and get out, so something like this (ride) is complementary given it’s a fundraiser. And, 0we’re trying to attract anyone who wants to ride and give back to a cause.

“Additionally, it’s a sport conducive to allowing them to participate.”

Anything and everything help. Their 10 riders – a good number for a first year – will ride either the 65-miler or 32-miler.

“Our goal for this year is just to get in and get started and to see where it goes from there,” Komar said.

If you go, be sure to see their booth at the Tour de Scottsdale Expo on April 13 at WestWorld. And if you’d like to donate, visit: Arizona Blood Alliance

Got thirst?

We know you will at The Tour de Scottsdale on April 13. We have a solution with the help of the Athletic Brewing Co, which “is dedicated to crafting delicious non-alcoholic beer you can enjoy anytime and anywhere.”

It’s fit for all times!

On April 13, they will be at WestWorld in Scottsdale, the host site of the event.

“We’re excited to be part of it,” said Adam Butman, West Region Sales Director for Athletic Brewing. “It’s the perfect pairing for a hot sweaty day or nice workout.  Nothing better than reaching for an ice cold, great tasting brew post run or ride, but some people don’t want the alcohol – it’s such a great fit for the event”

According to Athletic Brewing Co., it is the No. 1 non-alcoholic brand in the country and has about 20 percent share of the total N/A beer category.

Athletic leads the charge fueling the non-alcoholic category with the largest growth percentages, in what is still the fastest growing segment across total beer.

They are getting out there with their brand lending credence to Butman’s phrase “rocket ship” success in just six years of existence.

As such, Athletic Brewing Co., is at thousands of events such as Tour de Scottsdale annually.

“We do a ton of hyper local events similar to Tour de Scottsdale to really engage with the communities,” he said.

So, they will be there at WestWorld, sampling out their award-winning craft brews.

“It’s for outdoor enthusiasts and the healthy, active modern adult,” Butman said. “We’re really a product for any and all walk of life.

“If you are a new parent or an outdoor adventurer, a health junkie or living a high-performance life where you are hitting career goals, you can still enjoy a great-tasting brew without the compromise.”

Butman said Athletic trends to the “younger side anywhere from 22 years to the mid-40s” where about 80 percent of the consumers land.  “Athletic set out to de-stigmatize non-alcoholic beer and be an answer for the modern adult.  It’s great to see the adoption across all age groups, especially awareness across Millennials + Gen Z as they are drinking a lot less and looking for options.”

Butman said Arizona is a “hot state for us in terms of consumer awareness and retail sales growth.”

“Whether it’s the sober consumer or it’s someone who just loves great beer and is looking to have alternatives that pair with an active lifestyle,” Butman said, “we can be an additive to literally any walk of life.”

TOUR DE SCOTTSDALE'S BIKE PATROL TEAM

Join the team that is the helping hands, eyes and ears of our events.

The Bike Patrol Team helps cyclists on the route with minor mechanical aid, first aid and moral support.  Nearly 300 certified Bike Patrol cyclists bring enthusiasm for cycling and a deep pool of experience to ensure the success of thousands of riders in Perimeter’s events every year.  They ride all or part of an event’s route stopping to assist other cyclists and report their activities to headquarters during the event. 

You can sign up for BIKE PATROL when you register for the event.  Registration for BIKE PATROL is $20, compared to $125 for regular registration.

Each Patroller must be certified to ride an event – a short class ensuring that you know what to expect and what is expected of you during an event.  Certifications must be renewed every two (2) years.

All Bike Patrol Team members in an event receive a special Bike Patrol finishers medallion, an event t-shirt and could qualify for the Outstanding Bike Patrol

The Bike Patrol Team stands out from other cyclists with either the Bike Patrol Jersey or a special Bike Patrol t-shirt that must be worn while patrolling an event.

It’s not all about being on the bike.  Sometimes help is needed to:

1. answer phones on ride day to record activity of BP on the route
2. staff the Bike Patrol/Route booth at Expo/packet pickup
3. conduct the Safety/Orientation meetings at Expo
4. help manage the start lines, especially at the platinum area
5. teach a certification class

Requirements

Have the desire to help others - you must stop to help others

1. understand that you will not be timed for an event
2. knowledge & experience changing tubes on a bike (this is the most frequent activity during an event)
3. knowledge of replacing a chain
4. get certified (class schedule will be posted soon)
5. register for an event
6. ride the event and report your activity

IMPORTANT:  Bike Patrol is for those who want to help/give back to the event and cyclists.  It is not for anyone seeking a cheap entry to the ride.

Supplies

We strive to gain the support of bike shops and sponsors to help but have found that Bike Patrollers’ direct relationships with their favorite bike shop will often help with bike-related supplies such as tubes, tire levers, patch kits, pumps, as well as electrolyte replacement gels/powders.    Tour de Scottsdale will supply a small kit with first aid supplies and as much bike stuff as we can get for you.

What Bike Patrollers traditionally bring:

• tubes/ patched or new
• tire levers
• pump – the bigger ones (don’t wear out your arms)
• electrolyte powder
• bananas (from an aid station)

Bike Patrol Manual

Manual Coming Soon! The Bike Patrol Manual is a ready handbook of policies and procedures, event rules and other important information.  A hard copy is provided at Certification classes.

You’ll see plenty of red, white and blue at Tour de Scottsdale on April 13.

Cemex is back as a great sponsor for El Tour events and Tour de Scottsdale is our new one.

They’ve been front and center with their big, red-white-and-blue striped truck at El Tour and now will be back at Scottsdale.

And, they plan on having a DJ, pickle shots and cold towels for riders. We appreciate them.

This is the fifth event they’ve made their presence involving El Tour – and first with Scottsdale - having been part of the two years of El Tour and one with El Tour de Mesa.

Once again, they will be there to promote their “Safer Roads Together Program.”

“Cemex is a proud sponsor and participant of the El Tour de Tucson and Scottsdale races here in Arizona,” said David Nabavi, Cemex President – Southwest Region. “Promoting our Safer Roads Together program and educating racers on how to safely share the roads with our trucks showcases our commitment to Own Safety, Act Safely. Participating in the El Tour de Tucson at the end of last year set the tone for a safe and focused 2024. We look forward to continuing our support to these impactful community events.”

Safety is paramount for all things involving El Tour events. Next up is Tour de Scottsdale on April 13. Cemex does about a dozen similar events promoting its Safer Roads program.

Cemex officials want to make sure when their truck is around town people are safe and to make sure to avoid or be careful around blind spots, whether you are a cyclist, runner, walker, driver, anyone. 

“We really like to align ourselves with community races or bike races just because we share the road with pedestrians and people on their cars and bikes and our ready-mix trucks are on the roads 24/7 just servicing projects all across the state of Arizona, building homes, hospitals, schools, whatever it may be taking our building materials to those projects,” said Bri Kaites, Cemex community relations. “They are big, heavy pieces of equipment on the road, so we like to go to those specific events and connect with racers and community members and just kind of allow them to sit in the driver's seat and just see what our drivers can see in terms of visibility.”

See what they see when on the road. Sharing is caring.

“They will understand the visibility we are dealing with … it allows us to be good neighbors,” Kaite said.

Cemex, once again, will have a team of cyclists, who will be out on the roads with the other more than 2,000 cyclists in Scottsdale. They had a team in El Tour as well.

“We have some pretty serious riders on our executive team,” she said. “They all ride and part of a club and wear their fancy outfits. Not only do we support the event and try to make headlines in it we also want to have a great time in it.”

It’s not always about business. It’s about making the public aware of their presence on the road and in the state.

They have aggregate facilities, cement terminals, ready-mix concrete plants, where they mix the concrete that goes out to projects. Anything for housing and infrastructure where concrete is needed.

There are about 35 ready-mix plants, 30 aggregate facilities throughout the state, but are a global company and in 50 countries. They were founded in 1906.

They will see you on April 13 at Tour de Scottsdale. 

Design. Print. Promote.

That’s what Cirrus Visual does when it comes to helping companies – and events – highlight their activities. 

It’s as simple as wash, rinse, repeat. And it’s all good when it comes to Cirrus Visual, who have been part of El Tour events for a couple of years now. It will continue the tradition by being a sponsor in Tour de Scottsdale on April 13.

We love seeing them and they enjoy being part of the action with their bright, colorful signs.

“We haven't done well in having a presence in the Phoenix market before, so we’ll be leveraging our experience that we've had with El Tour in joining the Scottsdale ride,” said Brandon Blair, President of Cirrus Visual. “We see the Tour to Scottsdale is a good opportunity for us to put a toe into the Scottsdale community.”

It’s all about opportunities … and El Tour is doing the same in Scottsdale.

“Not only is Cirrus part of the action,” said TJ Juskiewicz, El Tour’s executive director, “but they there physically to make sure everything we need is exactly what we wanted. They care about the client, which is important.”

Brandon and his brother, Matt, will also be part of the event, as riders.

“We’ll be right in the middle of it all,” Brandon said. “We are also recruiting others to join us.”

Cirrus has been around for a quarter of a century, providing customers with high-quality, professional graphic design, printing and promotional products.

According to their website, “we successfully support hundreds of clients with their marketing, printing, and graphic design needs. We measure our success by our ability to help our clients achieve their own.”

The Tour de Scottsdale isn’t just a ride, but a way to meet people and create a synergy for life and, well, a love for cycling.

It’s also about raising money and awareness for great causes. The Coalition for Radical Life Extension is one of them. In fact, it’s one of 20 or so non-profits participating in the event on Saturday at WestWorld in Scottsdale.

“Being active is an important part of my long-term physical and mental health. I rode in the 2019 Tour de Scottsdale and enjoyed the camaraderie of the riders at this well-organized event,” said Jean Weidmann, Business Development Coalition for Radical Life Extension. “It is special this year, riding to raise funds for my charity, the Coalition for Radical Life Extension, which produces www.raadfest.com.”

Jean Weidmann

She’ll be riding again in the event, after the Tour took a five-year hiatus. She’ll be the team’s lone rider but looks forward to having a number of members riding next year. She considers her a novice cyclist but is always “enjoys a new adventure.”

Having ridden in it before allows for a sense of knowing what to expect because it “is allowing me to combine my love for sports and the outdoors with a cause that is incredibly important to me,” she said. “As a supporter of radical life extension, I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to live a long, healthy life. This belief is strengthened by my experience at the Tour de Scottsdale, where I see firsthand the impact of combining my passion for cycling with fundraising efforts for the Coalition for Radical Life Extension. I'm excited to participate in this event and future events to continue supporting this important cause.”

The Coalition is committed to the advancement of super longevity They are committed to advancing the interests of all stakeholders in the super longevity ecosystem. They do this through public policy advocacy, education, awareness campaigns and community building. The Coalition is the presenter of RAADfest.com, the largest super longevity event in the world. They provide critical connection to our members and member organizations, enabling and accelerating collaboration between researchers, scientists, entrepreneurs, advocates and the general public.

Being part of Tour de Scottsdale allows the Coalition to raise awareness about their annual event www.RAADfest.com held Sept. -8, 2024 in Anaheim, CA. It’s the world's largest science event focused on anti-aging, age reversal and longevity for a general audience.

“Financial support means the world to us,” Weidmann said. “Whether it's $5, $50, or any amount that is contributed, every penny counts and will be greatly appreciated.”

Some cyclists in the HonorHealth Tour de Scottsdale will see a familiar face at the start and finish lines at WestWorld of Scottsdale. They might not know the voice, though.

Adam Wadsworth will be at the microphone handling the announcer duties throughout the 62-mile and 35-mile rides.

The name sound familiar? Well, he finished first in the 2019 Tour de Scottsdale and is a familiar name to cyclists in the Valley in as much as he’s a member of the Jet Set Cycling team.

“They (Tour officials) were looking for someone who knows the local cycling scene,” said Wadsworth, 39. “I’m kind of plugged into the cycling here and I understand the course.” 

Adam Wadsworth

As he should being the reigning champ. But he’s stepping aside to get behind the mic and have a little fun.

Another factor is, well, “I'm just not in a place right now,” he said. “It's fitness. I’m not good enough to do it. Luckily, there's three or four guys on my team who are more than capable of pulling it off on Saturday. So, I'm hoping that they're going to deliver it for me. Not this year for me … I'm not I'm not in great shape.”

Vocally, he’s in perfect shape. So, you’ll hear him make the announcements, deliver platitudes, talk results and more.

Is he nervous? Hardly. He had been running a podcast on cycling for some time.

“I’ve done a little cycling media,” he said. “I interviewed professional cyclists.”

The new gig has him “really excited” to interact with spectators and cyclists alike. He’ll be working from WestWorld of Scottsdale beginning at 7 a.m. when the 62-milers start and again at 8 a.m. with the 35-milers head out. He’ll know a few of the more the 2,700 cyclists on the course.

“I'm pretty familiar with the local race scene and who the contenders are,” he said. “I know some of the stories and legacies behind each of the teams that will be there competing. I understand the course pretty well.”

And, in his opinion, Tour de Scottsdale has the best racer’s course in Arizona “because the terrain is very suitable for strategic attacks and strategic race techniques. So, it's going to be an exciting race.

“I'm excited to see how the teams can use the terrain to their advantage, and to see the different contenders who are more than capable of winning. We've got quite a few riders who are more than capable of winning on Saturday, so it should be a great race.”

Under Arizona legislation, ARS 28-819: “An operator of an electric bicycle is granted all the rights and privileges and is subject to all of the duties of a person riding a bicycle“.

Steve Tepper loves to cycle, ever since he was a youth, in fact.

“I love the feeling of freedom you get when on a bike, but also the immense challenge of racking up the miles and trying to go further than you thought possible,” Tepper said.

It’s a reason why he is a part of Tour de Scottsdale as a nonprofit and a rider. He’s the Executive Director of the Arizona Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired. He thought it was a “no brainer” to be part of a great ride on so many levels.

“It’s about joining the Tour and helping to raise money for two causes important to me: The McDowell Sonoran Conservancy and Arizona Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired.”

Adding, “I am a big believer every person has an opportunity to make a difference.  So, while my contributions and the contributions of those who support me in these efforts might be relatively small, you never know which dollar will profoundly affect someone’s life and/or change an outcome.”

That’s the goal and has always been the goal – to help people.

So here he is with a team – maybe two to five cyclists and he’s still recruiting – riding in the event on April 13.

“The cycling community is incredibly inclusive and so while I am riding with a few friends, I am also hopeful to meet some new people, have an outstanding day, and raise money for two causes I care deeply about,” he said.

Tepper said the Arizona Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired serves approximately 300 clients a year who lose their vision due to accident or illness.

According to its website, ACBVI has been empowering people with vision loss since 1947. Their highly skilled and experienced multi-disciplinary team of professionals offer individualized training utilizing state-of-the-art technologies and proven rehabilitation practices. 

ACBVI assists clients in coping with vision loss – with courage and dignity and a “Can-do attitude.”

“The majority of our clients are food insecure, and many are either at risk of homelessness or coming out of homelessness,” he said. “It is an honor to raise money to help them in their fight for independence and a return to work.

Sean Herd will be riding in his first long-distance cycling event. He’s confident he’ll do well.

Of course, he does have support given his father, Michael, and mother, Laurel, will be riding with him.

And, oh yeah, they came in from Utah to ride along with him. They are more cyclists than Sean is, so they are here for support, and, well, to get in a nice ride at Tour de Scottsdale.

Michael (l), Laurel and Sean Herd

It all came about around Christmas when they saw the event was going to occur and decided “it would be fun.”

“He (Michael) is a long-distance cyclist, and I don’t cycle much at all other than mountain biking with my son,” Sean said. “We thought it would be fun to get back together so we decided to do the event together.”

Son, Logan, 13, will ride, too.

They will be riding in the 62-mile event.

Being it’s Sean’s first ride, he’s both excited and nervous, but he’s prepared “and I feel good about it.” He and his son have been riding on the course preparing, riding longer each week to get ready. They’ve ridden about 44 miles of the course.

“That’s as far as we got,” he said. “We thought on race day we’d be able to push the last 18 miles.”

Michael is confident for his son, “I think he’s going to kill it.”

“We told ourselves that this was going to be a nice ride with three generations,” Sean said.

So, they’ll be there at 7 a.m. taking on the 62-miles.

HonorHealth, behind CEO Todd LaPorte, is Tour de Scottsdale’s title sponsor, and is proud to be part of what should be a great event. Already, more than 2,300 cyclists have registered with more expected by ride date, April 13.

LaPorte will be one of the many cyclists involved, even though he joked he might be the last one in. First, last … it doesn’t really matter, as long as one participates in the return of Tour de Scottsdale, celebrating its 20th year.

“Walking before I run… before I spin,” LaPorte said, referring to this preparation. “But the training is the best part, and while I realize April will be here before we know it, I’ll be ready. I love the Lost Dog Trailhead that is maintained by the Conservancy. So, if you see me out there, please say hi!”

HonorHealth CEO Todd LaPorte

Say “hi” to all involved. It takes a village to pull off a successful ride and one that means so much to so many people.

“We are excited to see the return of the Tour de Scottsdale and honored to play a role in getting it off the ground,” LaPorte said in the winter issue of Mountain Lines, the magazine for the McDowell Sonoran Conservatory. “As a healthcare system with roots in the Valley that go back almost 100 years, we know the impact being active has on overall health. We want to do everything that we can to encourage people to live a healthy lifestyle. Our hope is twofold: that our involvement will encourage other organizations to get involved, and that we will encourage cyclists from the Valley and beyond to see all that Scottsdale has to offer. We also hope this event becomes an annual tradition, growing in popularity year after year.”

As do all those involved. Scottsdale in April is the perfect place and time to see like-minded cyclists meander through the Scottsdale streets on safe routes, raising money for a number of nonprofits, including the McDowell Sonoran Conservatory.

“We hope that HonorHealth’s involvement will lead other organizations to get involved and provide a foundation for the community to come together to support this event, the riders, the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy, and many amazing nonprofits who will benefit from the cyclists’ fundraising efforts,” LaPorte said. “This will truly be a community event made up of participants, volunteers, and organizations coming together to impact positive change in the Valley, and we are excited to play a leading role.”

After all, HonorHealth’s “mission is to improve the health and well-being of those we serve, and we want to be the partner of choice as we transform healthcare for our communities,” LaPorte said. “That transformation starts before people get sick. It means encouraging people to stay active, to get connected to their communities, and to live a healthy lifestyle.

“These are all principles that the cycling community already knows, but this will be another opportunity to spread the message broadly in the Valley.”

And it coincides with Blue Zone’s Project Scottsdale, of which HonorHealth is a primary sponsor. Blue Zone is making its debut in Scottsdale in 2024. Blue Zone areas involve participants who practice a set of healthy lifestyle habits in regions around the world that have lower rates of chronic diseases and longer life expectancies.

“Cycling enthusiasts already incorporate many of these characteristics into their lifestyle,” LaPorte said, “and the Tour de Scottsdale will shine an even brighter light on the benefits of adopting the Blue Zone’s core principles.”

Get ready for more than 2,500 bikes on the Scottsdale roads on April 13. The Tour de Scottsdale is back and expecting a great day of cycling.

The ride returns after a five-year hiatus. HonorHealth is the presenting sponsor with CEO Todd LaPorte scheduled to ride in the event.

"HonorHealth is thrilled to be the presenting sponsor for this year’s Tour de Scottsdale,” LaPorte said. “Since 1927, our roots in Arizona have grown deep, and we remain steadfast in our mission to improve the health and well-being of community members from every walk of life. This commitment is woven into the fabric of who we are – and it shines through in events like the Tour de Scottsdale.”

After 20 years of producing this event, DC Ranch has turned the reins over to the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy. Teaming up with Perimeter Bicycling Association, the Conservancy aims to revive the Tour de Scottsdale. 

Vickie McWatters, Director of Development and Marketing for the Conservancy, expressed enthusiasm, stating, “We are thrilled to be bringing back this iconic event for Scottsdale. With its long-standing reputation as a well-known cycling event, McDowell Sonoran Conservancy wants to ensure we deliver an event that everyone in Scottsdale can be proud of. Recognizing this, we knew we needed to partner with the best cycling event producer out there. Our alliance with Perimeter is a perfect match.” 

The ride(s) – a 62-miler and a 35-miler – will begin and end at the popular WestWorld in Scottsdale. The 62-mile ride begins at 7 a.m. with the 35-miler starting at 8 a.m.

“Tour de Scottsdale has a nice history of being a popular ride,” said TJ Juskiewicz, executive director of Perimeter. “We’re happy to be partners in this event, which will be the best one ever, given the response we’ve received. It’s going to be a great day of cycling in the Valley.”

The ride has been called a “destination event” given the great weather and Scottsdale being a premier city to visit, not just in the spring, but any time. Cyclists have registered from 41 states and five countries.  There will be an Expo, with several nonprofits and sponsors involved in the event.

“Scottsdale has long been known as a healthy community, where all generations can enjoy clean air, sunshine, scenic trails, and beautiful landscapes,” Scottsdale Mayor David Ortega said. “Whether you are an avid cyclist or new to the sport, Tour de Scottsdale will captivate, lead you to share passionate conversations and steer you to new friendships.  Scottsdale is your gold-level, bike-friendly city!”

Tour de Scottsdale also offers other nonprofit organizations to join them while providing the tools to fundraise for their nonprofit’s mission. We have over 20 nonprofits joining us this year who have already raised more than $25,000. 

There are no road closures, but there will be heavy bike traffic on the route (see below).

Thompson Peak westbound will be impacted from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. And on Thompson Peak eastbound from 9.m. to noon. There will also be impact going east on Dynamite into Rio Verde from 7:30 a.m. – noon.

Jeff Farber and his wife, Jan, know Scottsdale well and will be back again next month to enjoy their second Tour de Scottsdale. It’s scheduled for March 28.

In fact, they were in Scottsdale in mid-January, taking in the sights and sounds – and cycling areas – of Scottsdale in preparation for next month’s ride. They will be one of many cyclists who come out to ride from outside of Arizona. They are coming in from Iowa.

“It was a ton of fun,” said Farber, 68.

They will be riding in a Bike Friday folding bike, the same type of bike they rode in the event a couple of years ago. They ride the bikes given health challenges – heart issues - have emerged over the last couple of years. His wife has MS. They used to ride a tandem.

They remember Tour de Scottsdale as being “fun” and a reason why they will be back in the ride.

“We do a fair amount of organized rides,” he said, including RAGBRAI and El Tour de Tucson (a few years ago). “Coming out of this cold (in Iowa), I hope to enjoy some nice weather for a weekend.

“The weather should be just about perfect.”

What did he like about Tour de Scottsdale?

“That it was well planned and it kept cars away from bikes,” he said.

They rode the 32-miler.

He calls himself a non-athlete but “riding a bike I can do.” He started riding a bike at age 10 and now he calls it a “Zen thing.”

“I have to ride every day,” he said. “I got to do something every day. This may be a weird thing (but) I almost like riding in the winter better because there’s nobody out there but me. It’s kind of a man versus the wild thing. I get my sky stuff on. I like the summers, but I like the winters, too.”

In the winter – yes, with snow on a Surly bike – he rides about 15-30 miles and more on good days when there is no snow. In the summer, he’s riding much more when he rides to work.

“We’re looking forward to Scottsdale,” he said.

Tour de Scottsdale has partnered with Experience Scottsdale and these hotels to make your stay in Scottsdale a great experience!  Accommodations in Scottsdale run the gamut from five-diamond luxury resorts and chic urban hotels to cozy Sonoran Desert hideaways and budget-friendly lodgings fit for the whole family.

Need a bike for Tour de Scottsdale? Uphill into the Wind has you covered
 

What would a bicycle ride – an important and impactful one – be without Uphill into the Wind?

We don’t want to know. Uphill into the Wind helps with the success of an event and delight of the participants.

They’ll be part of the Tour de Scottsdale on April 13.

“We are thrilled to be participating in another El Tour event, and especially excited to help a great cause like the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy,” said Kathy Griffiths, president of Uphill into the Wind.

The McDowell Sonoran Conservancy is a partner of El Tour’s for Tour de Scottsdale.

For more than a decade, Uphill into the Wind has helped El Tour-led events by helping cyclists find a bike so they can be part of the event.

To that, Uphill into the Wind's mission “is to put more bodies on bikes in support of charity cycling and triathlon events.”

The organization offers loaner bikes to individuals who are registered in a qualified 501(c)3 charity ride and cannot afford to purchase a bicycle.  Loaner bicycles are issued to the individual at the start of training through the completion of the assigned event. After the ride, the bicycle is returned so it can be loaned to someone else who wants to make a difference.

What a mission and idea. It’s a win-win for the event and the cyclists looking to get out and ride.

According to Griffiths, Uphill has loaned nearly 170 bicycles for El Tour events, including Tucson and Mesa.

“The total number of bicycles loaned to all charities (31 to date) is 424,” Griffiths said. “So, you can see that El Tour events have benefited from a considerable portion of our free bicycle loans.”

They are gearing up and will be ready for those looking to get a loaner in Scottsdale. As of Feb. 1, nearly 1,700 cyclists have registered. Anyone needing a bike can visit Apply for a Loaner Bicycle – Uphill Into The Wind.

“We are prepared to help as many people as possible experience the joy of riding in beautiful Scottsdale and fundraising for the charity of their choice,” Griffiths said. “We strongly encourage them to apply soon so they have plenty of time to train for the ride.”

The deadline to apply is March 9.

El Tour vouches for the program given its long-standing success. Anything to help raise money for their respective charities.

“We would love to help even more charities,” Griffiths said. “If there is an opportunity to educate them on our program and how easy it is to fundraise by recruiting more riders to their teams, we would be happy to meet with them either in person or virtually.”

Here are some key components of the program:

1)      Approved applicants are eligible to borrow the bicycle for a maximum of 14 weeks and a minimum of 4 weeks prior to an event.

2)      Approved applicants must agree to raise a minimum of $250, or the charity’s minimum, whichever is greater.

3)      Approved applicants agree to wear cycling shorts, shoes, eye protection and helmet while riding the bicycle.

4)      Approved applicants agree to obey all traffic laws and observe safe cycling procedures while riding the bicycle.

Gary Boenzi can’t wait for Tour de Scottsdale.

He’s part of the nonprofit East Valley Children’s Theatre and is looking forward to raising money for it.

“I’ve worked very hard preparing for the Tour,” he said. “It’s not something you simply do. It takes preparation.”

So, he’s taken time to prepare, not just for himself but for EVCT and the Mountain Bridge Cycling group that will be there helping. 

He’ll also be helping East Valley Children’s Theatre raise money. He’s a volunteer there. You can visit (www.evct.org) for more information to donate or join in on the ride.

For 27 years, East Valley Children’s Theatre has provided a safe environment for children to gain self-esteem, explore creative outlets and grow and mature into community-minded young adults.

“I'm very excited and can't wait for the Tour de Scottsdale,” he said. “I would be grateful for your support!  Thousands of cyclists will put themselves to the test on this challenging route.”

He’s used to challenging routes, given a few months ago he rode in El Tour de Tucson, where he found out about Tour de Scottsdale and thought it would be a perfect opportunity to help raise money and ride.

“I ride about three times per week, aiming for at least 75 miles,” he said.

It’s all in hope of helping the kids at EVCT, where the “focus is to prepare children for their performances,” he said. “As this is done, the kids also prepare for their future lives as adults.  As the saying goes, ‘If you’re not early, you are late!’

“As I prepare for TDS, I’m thinking of all the kids that passed through EVCT, including my grandson Josh. … Thank you for your support of East Valley Children's Theatre. Your gift truly makes a difference. Thank you for giving and inspiring others with your generosity.”

We recommend that you pick up your packets on Friday.

It had to be six maybe seven years ago when Michael Famiglietti decided to get Penske employees in shape, so he started a cycling club. 

Why not, right? Have some fun on a bike and reap the benefits of health and fitness.

It started with 30 people, some who cycled regularly and others who had no idea what it would take. 

“We had people show up on all types of bikes, wearing sneakers and shorts,” Famiglietti said. 

Penske Club (Photo courtesy Michael Famiglietti)

Optimistic, Famiglietti told them they’d be riding in the annual Tour de Scottsdale.

“They told me, ‘you’re crazy, Michael,'” he recalled.

Crazy like a fox. That group lost 350 pounds – collectively - in the first year and, indeed, rode in the Tour de Scottsdale. 

“We spent $47,000 at two bike shops,” he said, and they rode in the event, kicking off what will once again happen again on April 13 when the Tour returns after a five-year hiatus.

Penske Arizona is back and is a major sponsor, raising money for the event. Penske will also provide one of its stores to host the VIP reception, where Ferraris, Maserati’s as well as other vehicles from their auto complex.

“That group of 30 started it – some are no longer (participating) - but we are now at 124 people as part of the cycling club,” he said, of which Penske helps support the club. 

They have ridden in other events, too, but Penske is near and dear to Tour de Scottsdale, and all its key principles, including the Mayor of Scottsdale. 

Michael’s wife, Jodi Stokes who owns and operates Jodistokesfitnes, will do the warmup before the 2,500 or so cyclist who take to the road on Saturday.

“This was a big event for us,” he said. 

And because it is big, Penske is back! Penske is a sponsor and pays for the cyclists in the club. Carfax is another big contributor to the cycling club, as well as several other sponsors that support the club. 

“We’re very involved with the charities, that's the whole premise of wanting to give back to the community,” he said. “It’s why I get sponsors to help us. Our riders don’t pay for anything.”

There will be 44 cyclists participating on April 13, including a cyclist from Buffalo, N.Y., who is coming in just for the event.

“It’s a great group of cyclists,” he said. “I’ve gotten to meet some great people through the years. We have a core of employees, friends and family members of employees who are part of it.

“It’s not just a group ride, but engagement to get employees healthy.”

He said not long ago a club’s cyclist won their age group, 

“It’s a lot of fun,” he said.

Of course, he’ll be riding, too. 

“It’s a great group of people,” he said.

No doubt, a determined one. They’ve prepared with their weekly Sunday ride, where they ride about 33 miles. And some of the riders cycle on their own to stay fit during the ride. 

He waxed poetic on the ride coming back, and its importance, especially that its starting and finishing at WestWorld, in the heart of Scottsdale.

Penske will be providing sag vehicles – an Aston Martin, a Maserati and Volkswagen – and the pace car will be an Aston Martin DBX 707.

“It’s all going to be super cool,” he said. “I think leaving from the WestWorld and making it an event having two rides is great.

“Our club is looking forward to this event.”

Paul Flynn can’t wait for Tour de Scottsdale - for various reasons.

“I just decided to do it … and I love it,” he said.

He’ll be one of many cyclists coming from colder climes and, well, he loves cycling. And, oh by the way, he loves Tour de Scottsdale, given this will be his third time riding in it.

“The first time we did it, the weather was remarkable,” said Flynn, who is from Warwick, Rhode Island. “The Scottsdale area was unbelievably nice. I’m at the point in my life where I might want to retire there (he’s trying to convince his wife to move there).

“I love it there.”

As for Tour de Scottsdale: “The ride was so awesome I did it again.”

The third time will once again be a charm.

He’ll be there on March 28 with more than 3,000 cyclists riding in either the 62-mile ride or the 30-miler. Flynn will be riding 62 miles. He’s been a cyclist for 30 years and is now 58 years old.

He wants to make it a personal best. The first time he got a flat tire and lost about 30 minutes on his final time. He finished around three hours, 40 minutes. The second time he did it in three hours and 20 minutes.

How did the Warwick resident find the Scottsdale ride? Easy. He was watching the Global Cycling Network and it mentioned El Tour de Tucson, so he went to the website and it mentioned Scottsdale was coming up.

Easy.

“That’s what I do; I look around looking for rides,” he said. “If I see one that looks pretty good and challenging, I make the time and get vacation time to do it. I love riding.”

Tailwind Nutrition will be at HonorHealth Tour de Scottsdale on April 12.

“We are thrilled to be coming back to two El Tour events this year,” said Bryce Johnson, Tailwind Nutrition’s event coordinator. “El Tour de Tucson was a great opportunity to be part of … and the Tour de Scottsdale is a special community, which allows for a new audience to try our products. We want to be a part of the road cycling scene more and this seemed like the right event for us to do that.”

Endurance Fuel comes in powder form and mixes clear with water to provide all your calories, electrolytes and hydration. Simple to use with a clean, light taste. Just pour, shake and go!

The products are made with clean ingredients (no GMOs, gluten free, vegan, dairy free, and soy free) and made to be simple to use. They are made in Durango, Colorado.

Tailwind Nutrition was a hit at the 41st El Tour in November and it’s very likely they will be a hit again in Scottsdale. For Tailwind Nutrition, it’s all about exposure and the event helps “spread awareness” to the brand.

“We are hoping to duplicate the positive correlation people have with our brand,” Johnson said. “We want to help as many people reach their goals as possible, and having the right nutrition can be a huge step in the right direction to be able to do that. We want to support everyone if they are racing all out or just trying to finish their first event.  We appreciate everyone willing to try our products on the course and at the expo at the Tour de Scottsdale this year.”

Their mission is simple: “We are here to help you reach your goals while enjoying every mile of the journey. Our easy-to-use products are formulated to provide you with hydration, fuel, and recovery your body requires to do both! It’s all you need. Really.”

Vantage West Credit Union is true to its word when it comes to supporting events – it thrives in helping communities and those people in those communities.

They are one of the many sponsors for Tour de Scottsdale set for April 13.

They’ve done exactly that in Tucson and will be in the Valley, continuing to do so with the upcoming Tour de Scottsdale and the 2024 El Tour de Tucson.

We know their value – and they know ours – given they’ve been with El Tour for more than two years.

“We’re super excited,” said Rosanna Ramirez, Vantage West’s Community Impact Manager, referring to Vantage West being part of Tour de Scottsdale.

Vantage has been the volunteer sponsor, proving shirts and having a booth or two at the Expo. They’ve also had – and will have – a team of cyclists who will hit the road with more than 2,500 other cyclists in Scottsdale.

“We have a few enthusiastic cyclists in our team, so they are excited about the event,” she said.

Vantage West has been part of the Tucson and Scottsdale communities for some time, having branches in both areas. Vantage West has a branch on 32nd and Shea.

“I have a strategy where I try to look at areas  that we serve with our branch locations, and really try to embed ourselves in the community and things that have to do with we're huge on financial wellness and that contributes to health and mental and so we feel like activities like cycling, or races, outdoor activities, anything that has to do with fitness is good for the body and soul,” Ramirez said.  “And then that contributes to healthy financial wellness. They go hand in hand.”

What has impressed Vantage West is El Tour has become internationally known.

Ramirez has been so impressed with the events that this year for Scottsdale she’ll move from behind the scenes to help out at the Expo.

“I’ve heard such amazing things that I want to be part of the action,” she said. “I’m kind of jealous that way.”

She’s looking forward to being part of the Scottsdale event given she’s attended a number of events at the venue “and that area in Scottsdale is very nice.”

“I was excited for (a ride) to come north,” she said, being from the Valley originally. She works out of the Tucson area now.

“Having it so close to home (in the Valley) … I’m really excited,” she said. “I believe the lure of Scottsdale will help promote Tucson as well. And vice versa.”

At Vantage West Credit Union, we believe in the power of community and giving back. That’s why we’re proud to sponsor Tour de Scottsdale, an event that embodies perseverance, camaraderie, and philanthropy. More than just a race, it brings people together to support local charities, making a real difference in the lives of many.

This year holds special significance for our organization as we celebrate 70 years of service. Our journey has been shaped by member loyalty, dedication, and a deep commitment to the communities we serve. Tour de Scottsdale reflects these same values — pushing forward, working together, and creating a lasting impact.

For us, sponsorship is about more than just showing up — it’s about being actively involved in the moments that matter. We are honored to ride alongside the cyclists, volunteers, and supporters who make this event possible. 

See you at the finish line!
