Came across this treasure trove of rides for Tucson, filing it away for my next visit.

I also live in Wisconsin and each year, I escape to Arizona for some warm weather. I have been to Tucson and Phoenix and mostly spend time in Scottsdale. I love Texas but Texas does get cool temps during the winter. I have bad knees due to 33 years of firefighting and I notice less pain in the dry heat of Arizona. I can ride or hike without the pain I experience in the COLD.
Good luck!!
Good luck!!

@tcs Thanks, but a Dahon it is not!
It's actually a 2012 Giant "Halfway" The bike does not seem to be built anymore. Perhaps the "halfway" name did not help, most of us want to go the "wholeway". It was also fairly pricey at $899. Look closely and you can see the lefty fork and single chainstay. I liked the ride and my LBS gave me a deal I couldn't resist for it and an "Expressway" for mrsbrowngw.

This was taken yesterday after the rain. An early winter reprieve. One day of cycling remaining before returning to the GWN.

I try to hit PHX for a week or so every winter. This is from last December, amazing how green it was. Not gonna get there 'til Feb 2015 this winter. Should be able to catch a spring training game, though..
