This is the 3rd year of having Russell Cree and friends down to The Cycling House for a camp in Tucson, AZ.  When rain was in the forecast for the first big ride the Portland Velo crew probably questioned why they left the Pacific NW. They definitely paid their dues on the guided ride out to Saguaro E. National park and Old Spanish Trail. The first half of the ride it only threatened to rain, the second half the clouds delivered in a fierce way.

It’s been an awesome week at The Cycling House!  With the weather man telling us that rain was inevitable we were preparing for the worst. We aren’t use to rainy weather down here in Tucson, AZ so we had to re-think our rides a little bit and actually found ourselves stressing about the thought of putting on shoe covers, jackets, and hats to go riding.  The weather was wild and it turned out to be one of the best weeks of riding that we’ve had so far this year.

Happy New Year!  It’s only been a week since The Cycling House has opened it’s doors and we are already in full swing.  The crew at The Cycling House has been putting in some serious miles in sunny Tucson, AZ and our first camp (53×11 Coffee Camp) is under way and we’ve found our flow.  TCH Campers and staffers alike are getting in those ever so important base miles to kick off their season of training the right way.

Brendan Halpin and Jen Luebke are preparing for a great result at Ironman St. George in the beginning of May. They’ve been leading our 53×11 coffee campers on great rides and adding swim workouts and solid trail runs on either end to top off their training days.

New to The Cycling House staff this year is bike mechanic extraordinaire, Bryce Daviess.  The University of Montana cycling team leader has come down for the month of January to train and wrench on bikes.  We are stoked to have another solid Montana rider to add to our star studded staff.

Temperatures hit 73 degrees today and I must say that we couldn’t have had a better day of training in Tucson.  Hope all is well and we’ll keep the updates coming!

An Outsiders View

I’m sweating something fierce pedaling up single track in the Rattlesnake of Missoula, MT. I usually bring up the rear. The crew I ride with are some of the strongest riders I know.
