I will be handcyling again this year in the 40th El Tour de Tucson. My 10th El Tour, takes on a special meaning, as I am riding for Southern Arizona Adaptive Sports in honor of our friend Eduardo Aguirre. Eduardo was an integral piece of SAAS and is greatly missed. Wheelchair sports have played a huge part in my life and SAAS has been providing individuals with disabilities the opportunity to participate in sports since 2017.
Join the SAAS Ascension Cycling Team to raise funds & awareness for adaptive cycling and mental health. By riding with the SAAS-ACT Team you will ride along side of people with disabilities using handcycles, trikes, tandems and other adaptive cycles in pursuit of better physical & mental health. Donations will go to the Eduardo Aguirre Adaptive Cycling Fund through Southern Arizona Adaptive Sports. Thank you!
