Pedaling the Pueblo – El Grupo Turns 14
El Grupo Youth Cycling has been lifting young people up for 14 years by introducing them to the freedom, strength, and self-awareness that can come from riding a bicycle. Armed with new programs, like the bike-touring focused El Grupetto and El Grupo for the wee ones called El Grupito, the organization is meeting youth and families where they are, literally, by sending vans to pick up recently resettled refugees so that access to transportation isn’t a barrier for any would-be participant.
With new programs and growth comes new financial needs and just in time for the perfect fall weather, El Grupo is inviting supporters to join them for the annual Fall Fondo bike ride and festa (Italian for fiesta) on Sunday, October 28th. There are three distances to choose from and each ride is paired with El Grupo youth riders who will share their love of Tucson and riding bicycles with participants.
