City insight: Mesa
Mesa is a city in Maricopa County, Arizona, and the third-most populous city in the state after Phoenix and Tucson. It is the most populous city in the East Valley of the Phoenix metropolitan area and is home to the Mesa Arizona Temple, one of the first Mormon temples built outside Utah. The climate is hot desert, with extremely hot summers and mild winters, so late autumn through spring is the best time to race.
