Our Return to Tucson!

We made it down to Tucson! After 13 hours of driving (thanks Missy and Cari!!), we arrived at our host's house. Steve and Patricia have been excellent and they have a beautiful house filled with plenty of bicycle related art! Very cool! We were all impressed to hear that Steve hasn't driven to work since 2005-- a 16 mile commute ONE WAY! AND Patricia rides her bicycle to work everyday too-- even when she is on call and is called into the OB emergency room at 3 am!Definitely inspiring and very cool!

Today was a beautiful day in Tucson. We had a nice morning eating our favorite team breakfast-- oatmeal. Our mission was to pre-ride the TT course for the www.TucsonBicycleClassic.com . It is a short 3 mile tt course that begins with a nice descent leading to a long climb, into some rollers, ending with a decent climb for the finish. Very short! The course is near Gate's Pass and Saguaro National Park west-- big Saguaros everywhere. Remember all the cacti pics???? There are going to be some more! Be prepared to see Cari's foot.....

Until tomorrow. Good night!!!

I was wondering how long a drive it was to Tucson from Boulder.

Good luck team!
