Why Tucson? If you are brave enough to take a road bike ride in the middle of winter in Montana, you will quickly realize why. Once your fingers thaw, you might search for the best winter cycling destination.

In 2005, that was what spearheaded the creation of The Cycling House, and ever since then, we’ve returned every winter to open our doors and host sunshine-hungry cyclists. The Sonoran desert of Arizona offers 300+ days of sunshine, and the city of Tucson continues to make efforts to make Tucson even more bike-friendly.

Each winter, we run trips from January to April, and last year, we were lucky enough to host the FastCat Coaching group for a private trip (more about Arizona private trips here). Check out what their team had to say about the experience below.
