The last couple of years we’ve been off on family vacations just ahead of Spring racing starting up and my fitness has taken a hit each time (though the vacations themselves were great).
This year Apex were having a training camp down in Tucson and the timing worked out so down me and my bike headed for a week of riding in the sun.
We had a great week of hanging out and hammering the various local hills (Mt. Lemmon, etc..), trying out “The Shootout” (a long running Saturday local ride/race that any visiting pros tend to attend), and of course riding the Loop (a local trail network).
All in all a great way to kick start my season and get ready for spring racing.
