No not the road ride, today we rode the backside of Mt Lemmon starting from Oracle.
5 hours and 15 minutes, 57 miles and over 5500 feet of climbing. Art, Bob and Jonathan joined me on today's "parade."
And the climbing begins. The goal is up ahead. The cows just stared at us
We made it to Summerheaven where Art went to eat a giant cookie while the rest of us climbed to the very top. Jonathan and I pushed the pace a little at the top until I couldn't keep up.
Here's Art on one of the switchbacks near the top
On the way down we refilled our bottles and headed back down. The last few rollers were felt more difficult than they were. I guess it had to do with the heat around the low 90s.
Tomorrow is stage 3 up in Flagstaff.
Pura Vida!
