El Grupo Conquers the Tour of the Tucson Mountains


El Grupo youth cycling team successfully completed the Tour of the Tucson Mountains bicycle race last weekend. Months of hard work paid off. El Grupo rode as a pack and averaged 18.8 mph for the 70 mile race. Pretty impressive considering it was the first race for 15-year-old Pablo Silva, who is pictured in the front of this group photo.

Aw, this makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

My favorite part is the toe-clips, tennis shoes, and racks on the bikes!

I think for the next race they should install fenders, just to really hammer the point home.

When you are competing on a bike with toe-clips, racks, and fenders, you are certifiably bad-ass.

Ha ha, cutters... I'm glad I'm not the only one who watches old 70's cycling movies.
