Hi all...

So, 6 days into the year, and I am TOTALLY sick of the Chicago weather and thinking about a vaca.

I usually go to Cancun with my sister (not a WHOO-WHO kind of Cancun...for those of you who don't know, my sister is a 4x IM, so it's more of a hot weather training/sunbathing/relaxing kind of Cancun).  Anyways, she is getting a new puppy in March, so Cancun is off, which leaves me to a vaca by myself, and I was thinking of coming to the Phoenix area for a week.  Have a connection with a friend for a condo at a reasonable price, so that's done.

But what I'm wondering...I want to bike while I am out there...but shipping a bike can be so costly.  Is there somewhere in the Phoenix area where one could rent a road/tri bike?

Is that a stupid question?

I guess I could just run/swim while I am out there, but I really wanted to take full advantage of your awesome terrain.

Thanks for any insight!!

Not a stupid question.

I know Tempe bike rents out tri bikes.. and I'm sure there's other places as well.

Below is a link to their prices:

Good idea, contact Tribe Multisport. They rent out and have group rides.

Lots of great rides posted on the site for the area as well.

You can also contact Bicycle Showcase.  They are located in Scottdale at the southeast corner of Shea and Scottsdale.  Tim the owner has done a few Ironman and is currently signed up for St George.  He always has a few demo bikes around.
