Rock Star Triathlete Academy Deal of the Week: 46% Off Cycling Tours with The Cycling House

The winter is no reason to stop your training. How about turning your winter training into a vacation? It’s tough to suit up for a ride or run when the temps dip below 50 degrees outside and the motivation to jump into a pool is almost non-existent. There is only so much of the 2004 Tour de France you are willing to re-watch while sitting on the trainer.

This weeks triathlon deal is from our partners at The Cycling House – offering a day camp deal in Tucson, Arizona for either a single person two day escape or a one-day trip for two that includes free bicycle rentals!

The climb up Mount Lemmon is a must do, gaining over 5,500 feet on your way to the top. Did we mention the average temperatures from November to April ranges from 65 to 85 degrees?
