Locals participate in 6th Annual Tour de Fields

WELLTON, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The Yuma Region Bicycle Coalition hosted the 6th Annual Tour de Fields Saturday morning.

The event offers cyclists a unique opportunity to explore the Yuma Valley's vibrant agricultural landscape while supporting local charities.

All the net proceeds from the event will go to several local charities, such as Crossroads Mission, MIKID, Proverbs 31 Home Support for Victims, YCAT and more.

Event organizer Mary Miranda emphasized the community impact, saying, "It is very exciting that these organizations will be able to benefit by people getting out there and being active. It's like it all just comes together."

The ride also attracted visitors from out of state, like Patricia Jones, a snowbird from Colorado who couldn’t pass up the opportunity to cycle in Arizona.

"Well, I'm from Colorado and I do a lot of cycling out there, and since I'm down here snowbirding, I had to take the opportunity to ride a bicycle out here," Jones said.

Organizers say the ride is a great way to enjoy the outdoors while giving back to the community. They hope to see even more cyclists next year.
