Welcome to the board Gail and nice to meet ya! and of Course you're reading was right!
Tucson is a lot like Albuquerque as far as altitude and winter weather, isn't it great to be able to ride pretty much year round!
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
