Before I get into this review a little background on how I ended up at Campfire. I used to ride 300 miles a week. I've done a lot of backpacking since 2010, starting with a solo ride from Tucson to Chicago. I was a runner doing sub 2 hour half Marathons. I was also climbing at an advanced level. All of that changed when I got sick 6 years ago with CFS/ME after a bad viral infection. CFS is similar to Long Covid. Needless to say, my whole life was flipped upside down. I went from being an active social person to being bed/housebound for the first 4 years. It's been a very long battle back to some semblance of normal. I still am in the recovery process but I'm now able to ride again with the help of an ebike. A friend told me about the awesomeness that Campfire is. They are not wrong. I went in there to buy the new Salsa Confluence. Ellie was incredibly helpful! I'm also autistic and new things can be a bit challenging. Ellie's warmth and knowledge made it incredibly easy for me. The shop is at the heart of downtown on Toole. It is gorgeous! I'm thrilled with what they are doing for the bikepacking community here in Tucson. I hope I can one day do big rides again. Supporting local bike shops is so important. Campfire is my go-to local spot from now on. Thanks, Campfire Cycling for making getting back on my bike so much easier.
