HOUSE

We started The Cycling House because we wanted to provide endurance athletes with an unforgettable training experience. After years of training in Montana winters in pursuit of our professional racing careers we know firsthand how cold and cycling-prohibitive the winters can be in other areas of the country and wanted to give people the opportunity to ride in warmth and sunshine for a few days. With this in mind, we scoured the country for the ideal training destination. We decided to create an all-inclusive training destination for endurance athletes of all levels in Tucson because of its superb weather, lack of rain, and incredible training rides. We know the difficulties endurance athletes run into while training in an unfamiliar location. Trying to find the good local training roads, sleeping in uncomfortable hotels and eating out everyday can be a huge stress on the body and mind. We want people to direct that energy toward training, recovering and enjoying their trip. The Cycling House has the staff, support, location, experience and accommodations to aid you in obtaining your training and racing goals all while loving every minute of it.

Health

Here at The Cycling House we are all about living a healthy lifestyle. That is why we have created a training environment that encourages people to be good to their bodies, be happy and have fun. Instead of trying to navigate through an unfamiliar town in search of a healthy restaurant, at The Cycling House you’ll have a delicious lunch on the table when you come home from a ride and you can nap or read a book while a nutritious and mouth-watering dinner is prepared for you. We want to show our visitors what kind of fitness is obtainable by adopting healthy daily habits. We eliminate the stress of trying to train in an unknown city and instead emphasize sleep, recovery, nutritious food, proper fueling, training, and most of all, having fun. We want you to see how well you can train and how good you can feel when you remove distractions and get proper sleep, nutrition, and recovery.

Fully Guided & Supported Rides

Our rides are guided and supported by professional riders who are there for you – your domestique, if you will. Our staff will be with you to hand you a water bottle, top-off your Hammer Gel supplies and change a flat. They will keep you informed on what lies on the road ahead in regards to terrain and distance, all while enjoying a good conversation. On the big rides like Mt. Lemmon or Madera Canyon, there will be a sag support vehicle to hand off extra clothing as you gain elevation and the temperatures drop. You will always have a plethora of fuels, food and spare equipment in case it’s needed. You’ll never feel lonely on the road, even during your longest days on the bike.

Amazing Food

What we put in our bodies will affect the way we feel and how well we perform. It’s proven that fueling our bodies with a balanced, nutritionally dense diet will benefit us physically and mentally. We serve whole, all natural foods with an emphasis on greens and lean protein. We believe that the quality of calories you consume makes a huge difference in the quality of your training. That being said, we know that everybody is different and what works for one person doesn’t always work for the other. You can let us know if there are any foods you need to avoid or what foods are a necessity while you are training at The Cycling House. We are more than happy to accommodate vegetarian and/or gluten free diets. Check out a sample menu of what you might expect to be eating while staying with us.

First Class Accommodations

One of our main goals at The Cycling House is to provide our visitors with an extremely comfortable and pleasant place to stay. There is a laid-back, familial atmosphere that permeates the entire house. Many training camps are held in hotels where athletes tend to stay cooped up in their rooms and watch mind-numbing television until the next workout or gathering. We avoid this by bringing everyone into the same house to create a fun, comfortable and stimulating environment. During a day at The Cycling House you’ll see folks lounging in the living room, chatting about their next race, the days training ride or their kids at home. You can also hang out in the backyard to catch some sun and maybe read a few pages of a book. During the downtime at the house, you can catch a nap to rest and recover after a great morning of riding. If you come individually, you’ll have the option of having your own room. Our showers have all-natural soaps, shampoos and conditioners and depending on when you visit, you may have the option to have your own adjacent bathroom. Contact us for more information on sleeping arrangements or if you have any special rooming requests.
