Tour de Fat Summary: The Tempe Tour de Fat raised $64,500 for local cycling non-profits, which is over $5000 more than last year. This event just keeps getting bigger and better every year. And this year, part of the money is going into a grant fund so that we can directly benefit seven local non-profit groups instead of just three.
Third Friday Ride: Join us for the Fall Harvest ride this Friday the 18th, a wistful evening, pedaling hither and thither in search of the superior seasonal. Be at ye ol’ Tempe Beach Park entrance about 7:30. Bring your lights and locks, you’ll need ‘em.

We’ll introduce each area and then break up into groups for discussion and planning. By the end of the meeting we’d like to have a plan of what TBAG will be working on in the coming year, who will be working on it, and an idea of how we’ll accomplish these goals. Here’s what we need you to do between now and then: Look at the different areas and think about what you’d like to see in each. Think about local problems and how you’d solve them. Think about projects and initiatives that you could help out with. Bring these ideas to the meeting. Also get the word out, if you know people that would be interested but haven’t been involved with TBAG before, let them know so they can contribute.
