Winter Vacation Anyone ?
I am starting to get tired of this weather-finally.
Its about 14 degrees outside and kind of foggy. Yesterday it was 22 and windy. There is ice everywhere and we could use some fresh snow. Anyway the nice weather got me to thinking about some warmer spots.
In February two of the biggest bike event on the west coast take place in the southwest. On February 11th in Palm Springs there's the Tour De Palm Springs a century ride with about 8,000 riders. I did this once and it takes about 10 miles to break out into single file. A week later there is the 24 hour race in The Old Pueblo. This ones a lot of fun. I am not crazy enough to do it solo. Most riders are on four or five person teams. Jubilee mentioned he might be in for the Pueblo. Last year there were a couple of NW riders in the Old Pueblo (Old Pueblo=Tucson).
If thats not enough you can put your fenders back on your bike and load up on some granola and other health food and then do Cascade Bike Club's Chilly Hilly on February 26th.
Heres a link for the Tour De Palm Springs
