First Magnus 25th El Tour de Tucson (Tucson, AZ) El Tour de Tucson is a ride for cyclists of all ages and abilities, yet there is a racing component to the event that has attracted top competitive cyclists from around the world. The ride starts and finishes at Granada south of Congress in downtown Tucson. The cyclists tour the perimeter of scenic Tucson. The most unique feature of El Tour is its two river crossings! At two points along the route, cyclists must cross a "wash" which may or may not have water in it. Whether there is water or not, cyclists must generally dismount and push, drag or carry their bicycles across the sand/rocks/mud. Bridges are built especially for the day if water is flowing. This ride is 109 miles! In addition, there are also 81, 66 and 35-mile routes.
