I got to meet and ride with Sue (mtkitchen) on my local mountain climb, mingus mtn. It was a great day to climb, the weather cooperated with cool temps and getting very early start didn't hurt either. She is getting ready for a serious climbing ride in a few weeks and wanted to get some training in, as Phoenix is flat.(and HOT) On the way up, I stopped in the 22% section to snap some action photos of her, and to my surprise she turned around to do it again! Crazy. We rode to the top with my hubby catching us about 1/2 way up from a later start. He escorted Sue down and back up the backside as I was having an "off" day. I waited at the top and met a very nice boy named Sean.

She claims not to be a "climber" but don't let her fool you! She kicked my butt in my own backyard, and went the distance down the backside. It was awesome to meet and ride with another TE'er, you're welcome to kick my butt anytime. ....but I still OWN the descent!!
