They did it in 1991 and they want to do it again next year. Organizers are preparing for a September 26^th race from Tusayan to Williams which will pit bicyclists against a steam engine train. In 1991 such a race was held and 300 participants showed up.

Next year organizers are hoping to greatly expand the concept and turn it into a weekend event which could also boost tourism. The staging area will be in Tusayan.

Rob Krombeen, who is also a local Justice of the Peace, made the pitch to the Tusayan Town Council December 3^rd.

Krombeem is still waiting to get approval from ADOT. To make that happen he asked for a letter of support from the Town Council. The town gladly obliged.
