robabbeatle - I found a rental in Sam Hughes, thanks for the tip on that neighborhood, I wouldn't have guessed that was a great location just looking at the map. I was originally thinking of staying right up near Mt Lemmon, but being in town makes more sense for group rides and in-town activities. I can't wait to get there - we have 4" of snow and it's 2 degrees right now.
Excellent. There is a great market near Sam Hughes called the Rincon Market. Across the street is an amazing tea house as well if you are into that.
I would suggest that to get to areas north by bike, you head east to Mountain Ave. as it is the best north/south route until you get all the way over to Tangue Verde. You can also get east via Broadway, it is a main road but actually has a good bike lane. This can take you out to Old Spanish trail which is the route to ****** hill: a great ride in the country.
Let me know if I can be of further help.
Enjoy!
edit*: the censors are editing the name of the hill: it is Ppistol without the second p
