Sedona AZ (May 16, 2013) – The Arizona Department of Transportation is encouraging drivers to be alert for bicyclists traveling along the shoulders of state highways throughout the Verde Valley this weekend due to a special event.
More than a thousand bicyclists are expected to participate in the 27th Annual Bike MS Ride the Vortex bike race on Saturday, May 18 and Sunday, May 19, 2013, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Drivers can expect to see bicycle riders on Arizona State Route 89A and SR 179.
