Cozumel is well on the way to solidify its position as a prime destination for sports tourism.  Recently officials from the Municipal Tourism Department have been in negotiations with the Alpine Cycle Connection, a US based company that specializes in destination bicycle tours, to bring an additional cycle race to the island in November.

The fall season, which has traditionally not been a heavy time for tourism, already has a busy athletic itinerary.  In fact, Cozumel is already scheduled to host the Metlife 70.3 Ironman on September 22nd, the ITU Triathlon on October 5th,  World Cup in and the Ford Ironman Cozumel 2014 on December 2nd.    The additional cycle event could, in fact, encourage athletes to live and train on-island for the entire season.

Alpine Cycle Connection has nearly two decades of experience in creating cycling tours and events in the United States, including the “Bike Virginia Tour, ” ” 109 º West Bike Tour, ” and  “Ride the Rockies.”

An ex-Connecticut Yankee who has called Cozumel home for over 18 years, Laura ran away to the Caribbean years ago, bumped around the islands teaching SCUBA diving, lost some time in Jamaica, and finally stopped in Cozumel for a 2 week vacation that hasn’t ended yet. With a degree in Journalism from a fancy private college she convinced her parents to pay for, Laura writes, edits, and creates the weekly Cozumel 4 You news, social media, and promotional articles about the island, as well as moderates the Cozumel 4 You Facebook group, which currently has over 25,000 members. Her long suffering husband, Fabian, has long since resigned himself to having zero private life, as he’s been involved in her various schemes and plots since his arrival. Proud parents to a variety of rescue dogs and cats, Laura continues to be the bane of her traditional Mexican mother-in-law’s existence, as she muses her way through life in the Mexican Caribbean. ______________________________ Una ex yanqui de Connecticut quien llama hogar a Cozumel desde hace más de 15 años. Laura escapó al Caribe hace años, desplazándose de una isla a otra dando clases de BUCEO. Se dedicó a perder el tiempo en Jamaica y finalmente se detuvo en Cozumel para pasar unas vacaciones de 2 semanas que aún no terminan. Convenciendo a sus padres que pagaran una elegante universidad privada, obtuvo su título en Periodismo y Laura crea semanalmente Cozumel 4You, medios sociales y artículos promocionales sobre la Isla y también es moderadora en el grupo Cozumel 4 You en Facebook que actualmente cuenta con 25,000 miembros. Fabián, s umuy tolerante marido, desde hace mucho tiempo se resignó a no tener vida privada, pues se ha visto implicado en los diversos proyectos y planes que urde Laura. Son orgullosos padres de diversos perros y gatos rescatados. Mientras contempla su paso a través de la vida en el Caribe mexicano, Laura continúa siendo la pesadilla en la existencia de su muy tradicional suegra mexicana.
