“I like riding in the race because I think it’s cool to ride far.'
Jon Gold Special to the Arizona Daily Star When Ariana Dinu was 6 years old, she saw some cyclists training for Tour de Scottsdale around her neighborhood. She pointed to them and told her parents, Nan and Valentin, that she wanted to do it, too.
So she did it herself, and the tour organizers even gave her a medal, the only one they gave out that year. Last year at the age of 6, Jordan was the youngest finisher in the 28-mile El Tour course, en route to completing 600 miles for the year. Ariana Dinu is not only an endurance cyclist, but she’s taken on the full triathlon package. She runs, she swims. She’s the only junior athlete in tri-Scottsdale. She recently completed a half-Ironman challenge, even if it was unofficial; the minimum age is supposed to be 18.
'Really fun moments and really serious moments'There they stood, breathing heavy on the side of the road on the Loop by Interstate 10 north of Orange Grove Road. Jordan was just in kindergarten, but he was already pushing himself. This 30-mile ride was their longest yet and he was feeling it.
