We packed up our bags and bikes 32 years ago . . .
Moved from Michigan to outside of Tucson, Arizona area.
Best move we've ever made.
Getting a bit crowded now; the small town we moved to has grown from less than 3,000 folks to 40,000+ since 1978.
We lived sort of in the boonies (first traffic light headed north was 100+ miles away).
Still loads of sunshine (average 360 days a year). . . in summer we wish for a cloudy day!
Have been snowed on 3 times in over 3 decades, but cansee the snow capped mountains gtrom my back yard.
You can only ride 13 (!) months out of the year. Boosted our riding from around 5,000 miles a year to 10,000+ a year.
Now in our mid-'70s, pedaled just over 5,000 miles in 2009.
Leave your snow shovel/blower in MN . . . but do bring a broom to clear all that excess sunshine away from your mailbox!
Our greenery is a bit different, not as many trees . . .
Pedal on TWOgether!
