| Bob Dick Tommie Norma Scott Wayne Nancy Mikki DEPUTIES... The Tucson Desert Classic is fortunate to welcome back most of last year's deputies. All are skilled volunteers who have proven to be straight shooters (both in and out of the saddle) and experts at getting things done. Like dogs, bicycles are social catalysts that attract a superior category of people. Chip Brown, "A Bike and a Prayer" Tommie Kozlov is back as our "on site" expert. If there's an issue with the hotel that you are unable to resolve, let her know. Wayne Broadhag returns in his roll as our "trail guide." He's putting together another collection of rides that will be both challenging and fun. And just like last year... there's something planned for everyone. Nancy Broadhag will coordinate the posse's off-site diversions. There's much to see in Tucson. You'll want to make plans to fill your free time with local culture, shopping, dining and maybe even some night life. Bob Ruris is again taking on the responsibility as our "bar keep." No one knows their way around a saloon... or hot tub, like Bob. He keeps the beer cold and the fun flowing. What else could you ask for? Norma Shechtman will again lead the "Rock Star Walkers" on our hiking expeditions. Bring your boots, poles and hat! With a national park near by, and canyons and state parks within easy reach, Southern Arizona hiking is world class. Scott Oberle is the tour's photographer. He will, with your help, capture all the important Desert Classic memories for our DVD. His DVD is the ultimate souvenir and everyone gets a copy this year. You can check out some of Scott's work at photosbysandj.com Dick Bird manages the Desert Classics's safety program. Be safe; accept no substitutes. Buy the original and the best...
