The 8th annual Mayors' International Bike Ride this past weekend celebrated the borderlands, mayors from throughout Yuma County and participants said.
Saturday morning's race began at the Yuma Civic Center as cyclists of all experience levels lined up at 8 a.m. and took off.
The course took them to the Cocopah Korner store on Highway 95, Somerton City Hall, Gadsden and San Luis, Ariz. before cyclists crossed the border into San Luis Rio Colorado, Mexico.
Mr. B's Bicycles of Yuma, an event sponsor, followed the riders and assisted anyone with a flat tire, broken chain or other bike issue.
Most riders made it to San Luis, Ariz. with a smaller group ending the race in San Luis R.C.
Three mayors- Doug Nicholls of Yuma, Jerry Anaya of Somerton and the new Mayor of San Luis Rio Colorado César Iván Sandoval Gámez were joined during the event by councilmembers from Yuma, Somerton, San Luis and Wellton and Yuma County Supervisor Martin Porchas.
