Positive AffirmationWhen you say an affirmation over and over again, a couple

of things happen:

1. You’re are sending a very clear message to your brain that this is important to you.

2. When you do that, your brain gets busy noticing ways to help you achieve your goals.

3. Then the affirmation kicks your creativity into high gear.

Bike CourseThe  Bike Course laid out in the map below has been

designed to include as much designated Bike Lane as possible and to allow our volunteers to work in tandem with Pima County Sheriff's Deputies to enhance safety.

At the Camino Cartamo there will be a volunteer and sign, along with a Sheriffs Deputy, indicating where to turn and reverse course.
