Just did my first winter tour...5 days self-contained with 6 women in southern AZ. So happy to report it's possible. We biked in shorts...wow, but stayed in lodging because of cold nights. Check out the journal on crazy guy.

We had so much fun. It turned into a pilot trip of sorts for my two wheel traveling gig. I hope it inspires you to get out there. Cheers!

Thanks for the link, 2 wheel
Always great to read others stories about their bikes
Glad it was successful

That's so awesome. It's so hard for me to take time out of my schedule for long adventures like that.
I've been to Tombstone and Bisbee, but that was before I knew about the Shady Dell! :-(
Thanks for the virtual tour!
