Top 10 bike rides in the state of Arizona

Arizona is a unique state state with all sorts of topography. There are not many other states in the country where you can be at 2,500 ft and then 25 miles later be at 9,000 feet. Tucson and Phoenix Arizona are becoming a mecca for cyclists around the world during the winter months. Plus Flagstaff, Arizona is becoming a great place to train during the summer months because of its high altitude and even has a high altitude training camp.

Lance Armstrong trained in Tucson in the winter months in preparation for his Tour de France victories.
