Road Cycling in Tuscon
We hope to rent an Air BnB in Tuscon for the purpose of road riding. What part of Tuscon should we stay in that will facilitate riding from our home best? I posted this in regional also but I rarely get responses there. Thanks

I’ve never heard of a place called Tuscon. Where is it?

Tuscon was a science fiction convention in the 1980s - and a common mipsellnig of the Other Arizona Metropolis.
My impression of the Old Pothole-ueblo is that it's very bicycle-friendly throughout the area, except many of the roads are in rough to atrocious condition. I was getting vibro-massaged even with Fat Boy 1.25 tires and a double-sprung saddle. So don't bring your narrow tires, if that's any help.
