Yesterday Mark and I rode up to the 20 mile point on Mt Lemmon. It was a lot of climbing. I'm still adjusting to the heat and the elevation. It was a fun ride though. The cornering clinic I took with Kenny came in handy for the descent. 20 miles of descending at 30-40 mph!
It was really warm. In past years there has been snow at the top but not this year. We didn't even need our coats.
Today we rode mostly flat again. We headed down to Colossal Cave but this time did the Pistol Hill loop. It was a really nice road without much traffic. The last mile was the old road to the caves that is being overtaken by the desert. Bikes can still get through though but no cars at all on that road.
Afterwards we played some boules with our hosts Mike and Daniel. We are staying at a guest house that is connected to their house. If anyone wants a great place to stay very close to Mt. Lemmon I can give you their contact information. The guest house is for rent all spring and winter. Perfect for cyclists!
