Did You Ride Today? Where To and How Far?

[sleeve]

I went from 2200 feet to just over 8000 feet and a world of difference in temperature. Where is this magic cool place? Well if you are familiar with Tucson, AZ., it is Mt. Lemon. A short ride just north of Tucson proper - only 28 miles to the top. (about 70 miles for me today). There is a nice cafe in Summerhaven (great name for this mountain hamlet) called the saw mill cafe i believe, nice spot for lunch or breakfast.

The road up and down is full of twists and turns, having to share this road with "bicycle" riders one must be able to navigate these moving obstacles that believe they own the rode when we all know whom the real owners are.... Don,t we? Anyway a quick lunch and a walk around the small village, time to head back into the heat... Usually about 25 degrees difference in temps from top to bottom, and if you have ever been to Tucson in the middle of July. That temp difference is as refreshing as slipping into a cool pool, or sipping a corona and lime..... Ahhhhhh!
