Cyclists may choose to ride 165-, 97-, or 49-miles starting/finishing at the Cochise County Fairgrounds, Douglas, AZ.

Also, taking place all weekend, is Tucson’s annual Come Meet Yourself festival. There is more information on the website here, but here’s some info on the event itself:

Tucson Meet Yourself is an annual celebration of the living traditional arts of Southern Arizona’s and Northern Mexico’s diverse ethnic and folk communities. Each October, the three-day event features hundreds of artisans, home cooks, dancers, musicians and special exhibits that celebrate and honor beauty in all its diverse, informal, and everyday forms.

These are just a few events happening over the weekend, but it helps illustrate the diversity in the activities taking place in our area. For now, we hope you have a good weekend and are getting the most out of it here in Tucson.
