Cycling from Patagonia, Arizona to the border of Mexico and then back… has its perks
It’s an adventure of riding, eating, and good times during The Spirit World 100 in Patagonia, Arizona from Thursday, November 7 – Sunday, November 10.
The Cyclist’s Menu duo Heidi Rentz and Zander Ault founded The Spirit World 100 in order to connect more people through their “contagious love for riding bikes, cooking, and throwing a mean party.”
The event is collaborating and featuring local companies Pueblo Vida Brewing, Pivot Produce, Forbes Meat Co., Desert Provisions, Barrio Bread, Rune Wine, Fiore Di Capra Cheese, and Presta Coffee Roasters.
When you’re not eating the delicious meals you’ll be cycling anywhere from 40 – 100 plus miles of the Patagonia and Sonoita regions.
There are two options, as well.
You can register for either the 100 mile or 50 mile distance during the event.
Patagonia is about one and a half hours south of Tucson, and there will be a pickup shuttle scheduled at the Tucson International Airport between 10 – 11 a.m.
By the look of the full cycling and eating schedule it’s going to be a blast.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
