Race headed out of downtown Tucson west into the Tucson Mts. beautiful views. Then turned east down Speedway and through the UofA mall, around Reid Park, back to downtown Tucson. Great views allong the course. The expo was nice but basic. My biggest complaint was the metal, it’s boring!!! Your in Tucson do something cool to represent the town. Overall very good race coordinated greatly and very good community support.
