    I'm in arizona! i rode 20 miles today with a bunch of Bikejournal folks, but Mtkitchen and i took off and went at our own pace.

    it was nice and cool at first but it got pretty hot by noon when we were done.
    I have seen lots of dirt, sand and cactus!
    and we climbed an 8% hill.

    for six tanks of gas you could have bought a bike.

    probably is a lot different than the NW.
    It's even different between here and AZ
    PS. when in doubt, Hydrate!

    Sounds like a lot of fun! Have a good time while you're out there!

    You know it's funny... when I lived in AZ I got so tired of the barren desert landscape and all the Southwest architecture and style. Now that I've been gone for 15 years, I really miss it- and wouldn't you know my house is decorated in a very Southwest style (must've been why I bought it).

    8%! I thought they said no hills!

    So did you ride with RD? Did you eat pie? Did you have the right clothes? How far did you ride?

    This sounds so awsome...

    *gets out pen and adds to *list of things to do" *

    We only have "high country/snowy in winter" desert here... which I haven't ridden along yet but will do one of these days...

    "I will try again tomorrow".
