IPhone quit syncing with Outlook after disabling iCloud

Question

I have a new iPhone.  I hooked it up with a cable to my laptop running Win 7 and did a sync using iTunes with Outlook Pro Plus 2010.  Everything sync'd fine (calendar, contacts, notes).  I did several syncs.  I decided to try syncing with iCloud and so installed iCloud on the pc and turned sync on the phone.  It didn't do what I thought it would so I turned it off (selected off on the iphone and uninstalled iCloud off the laptop).  At this point, I said I did not want data from iCloud saved on my phone for calendar, but I think I said to save it for the other two apps.  I then noticed that I no longer had a "calendar" listed under my calendars (I still have some internet calendars I have linked to), but not the default calendar.  I can only save new items to one of the internet calendars.  There isn't a "add calendar" button on the phone to add more calendars on the phone - only to add calendars with outlook.com, exchange, gmail, etc.
I tried syncing to Outlook, but it will no longer sync.  It will sync notes and contacts fine (I tested both and it seems to be working fine).  I have tried closing and rebooting both pc and phone, uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling, resetting sync in itunes, setting sync to push data from the pc to the phone.  I turned iCloud sync on for calendar and then shut it back off...but this time, I told it to save the data on the phone.  The "calendar" saved from pc showed up on the phone.  However, it won't sync with Outlook.  In iTunes, it was showing two "calendars" with both selected.  I added a new calendar at that point on the phone called calendar.  I deleted the other calendars that iCloud added - but still no luck on syncing.  After deleting all the iCloud calendars and the added calendar, the two listings in iTunes went away (when syncing was working, there weren't any individual calendars listed in iTunes).
I think the issue is from 1 of 2 things: 1) something got messed up with they sync and it is trying to sync to a blank calendar in my outlook - not looking at the default calendar  (unlikely)  2) it can't sync with the phone because the default calendar no longer exists on the phone (likely).
Any ideas on how to recover the default calendar or how to fix the sync issue?  I have been trying to find all I can on the internet, but after troubleshooting for several hours, I am at a loss.
Thanks

I figured out how to recover the calendar and get syncing again (or at least a work around), so thought I would post in case someone else has the issue.  To recover the calendar, you need to log out of all calendars on the iPhone and it will recreate the default calendar.  When you try to log back into another calendar, it will ask if you want to delete the default and warn that there may be duplicates by not deleting it.  Since it was blank, duplicates wasn't a concern.
To recover syncing again, I looked up where the sync files are stored.  I copied all folders that looked like they had anything to do with syncing to a temporary folder in case I had issues that I needed to recover from.  I then went in and deleted all the sync files I could find from the date I tried to use iCloud.  I also deleted the sync database which caused iTunes to not be able to sync correctly.  Next, I did a repair on iTunes.  When it came back up, it allowed me to reset everything up as if I hadn't sync'd the phone before.  It seems to now be working again.
