Phoenix, AZ — Here we are in warm, sunny Phoenix! My teammate Ted and I are anxious to get some good miles in. Heather will join us for a few rides, but mostly will be meeting with potential clients. We rented a minivan from Enterprise Rent-A-Car and, even though the all the Phoenix airport rental properties are being revamped, we had a pleasant experience and were impressed with the friendly staff. This is picture of Ted basking in the warm Arizona sun.

From there, we were off to the FedEx Home Delivery distribution center not far from the airport. It was a close one, but Ted and I were able to pickup both our bikes. We had shipped it to the home we are staying in, but there was no one to sign for it yesterday when they tried to deliver it. I called FedEx and told them to hold it so we could pick it up, but they couldn’t guarantee that this would happen. So we were relieved that they had them when we stopped at the distribution center. Ted and I built our bikes and went for a quick 1.5 hr ride. The route we took wasn’t the greatest due to construction everywhere, but it was great to be riding outside in shorts and short sleeved jerseys!
