Three weeks in a row I have been privileged to ride the shootout. Week 1 to the bridge, week 2 to Helmet Peak Rd., week 3 all the way around. None of them connected to the main pack. I did ensure my demise the last 2 weeks by going off the front early, but I needed to see where my fitness level really was.

Welcome whenever! Tucson is Great and now it is becoming Hot. I rode the bike home yesterday at 4:30pm in 104 degree weather. It was great!

To my friends considering relocating.
A few things I think of when looking at housing in Tucson are:
1. County vs. City taxes (Tucson, Marana, and Oro Valley)
2. Future Resale Areas including schools for those of us to busy to home school.
3. Another thought are Foreclosures. Areas which might interest you are Continental Reserve in Continental Ranch, Gladden Farms off of I-10 and Moore Rd., Sunset Point is my neighborhood, it is in the county but borders Marana and has an association with a pool.
4. I personally do not like a two story in Tucson because both levels need heat and cooling. We have both an Evaporative cooler and A/C. We have the best of both worlds... when the humidity is low the Evap works GREAT, when the monsoons come and it becomes humid and 100 degrees plus we switch to the A/C.
