Well the trip was long, and so have been the rides since I
got here in the Desert. Life in Tucson is simple; we wake up, eat, play The Settlers of Catan, ride, eat, and
play again. Every day. There are 6 of us total in a 3 bedroom 1 floor house; me
and a bunch of pro road guys. Living with the guys has taught me several things
about riding, training, and focus. Tucson is awesome, it’s a city right in
between several mountain ranges, and surround in cactuses. Temperature here is
pretty crazy – it’s arid so you don’t realize that you’re sweating, and the
temperature fluctuates more than 20C between day and night. Riding temperatures
are always beautiful, but the wind plays tricks on me and my jersey tan is
getting bad. I’ve spent over 30 hours on the bike since last Tuesday (check out
my new gadget on the right to see where I’ve been. I have seen a lot of
interesting things here – cactuses, lizards, road runners, cactuses, eagles,
quails, and of course Brandon Spencer.
Here are a few of my favourite pictures so far.
