Today we did a big ride up Mt Lemmon in Tuscon, Arizona. We actually considered doing a different ride because even in Tuscon it was extremely windy, and it only got windier up the mountain. Little did we know the wind was not necessarily a bad thing... We had this fantastic sent-from-above tail wind pushing us most of the way up the mountain! Now that doesn't mean we didn't work hard, and not to mention the grueling head winds that brought us to a stand-still around certain turns.
34 km climb, 5600 ft elevation gain. Took us about 2.5 hrs to reach the top.
Felt SO GOOD to reach the top!!!
We got some famous fudge and a cappuccino to enjoy on our break before the long descent.
