Tucson Training for Team Southern Tier

Needed to get out of PNW (Pacific NW) to drier warmer climate to cycle some consecutive longer rides. Started with 55 miles and 1100’ on the Tucson Loop. Super popular on a Sunday morning with beautiful rest stops, art work, a small outdoor arboretum, courteous walkers, runners, “Sunday” cyclists and pelotons! Parts of the ride had a fair share of big city, unhoused people too.

Then on the next day to Mt Lemmon! An iconic climb for cyclists! Amazing ride with climb, climb, climb!! Tom made it to the top or at least to Summerhaven. I made it on my rented bike to just short of Palisades.
