Winter Riding in Tucson, AZ

Cycling House Bikes

This is my first post on the Freeman blog and I must say that I’m super stoked to be a part of it.  I run a small company called The Cycling House and right now we are in the heart of our busy season.   Basically, myself and my four best friends migrate south every winter from Missoula, MT to train and work at the house.  The Cycling House gives people in the Northern part of the country a place to escape the cold climates and ride in the sunshine for a few days.   I wanted to post a few photo’s of our season down here so far.

Mile 13 on Mt. Lemmon.  25 Miles and 5500 feet of climbing.

This is mile 13 on Mt. Lemmon. 25 Miles and 5500 feet of climbing total. Usually it's dry but there was some snow on the side of the road this day due to the wild storms the Western US has been hit with lately.

Eating good food is mandatory at The House.

If you get a chance, check out our new website here.  The site was our last big project before our season started up down here and I’m really happy with the way it turned out. Also, if your ever in Tucson and looking for some folks to ride with then definitely drop us a line.  We will be here until mid April and after that we’ll be heading back to Missoula, MT to race and hangout in the center of the universe.
