Bicycle Training

In March, we finally got off our arses and started riding around the Phoenix area. At first, it was pretty much by braille, but we soon found some west valley clubs and group rides. Sun City actually turned out to be a great place to participate in group rides as everyone was pretty much retired and has all day to ride. We would typically ride MTW FS with a mix of people aging from 55 to 82. One might laugh, but these gma's and gpa's can hammer. The pictures above are from our "practice" tour route from Phoenix to Prescott and back. While in Prescott, we hung out with Scott's cousins - Dorothy, Jeff, and Emily - for a relaxing couple of days. The 200-mile round trip was a huge success and ramped up our anticipation of the longer trek.
