Dear So and So

I'm warming up the sunroom, where I will spend a couple hours with Coach Troy. Should I go to Arizona for rides up Mt. Lemmon and Gates Pass or should I opt for that beast Have Mercy, the Sequel?

I'd go for the AZ scenery! Much easier to pretend you're somewhere warmer

That's what I did but I had forgotten how tough it was to climb up Mt. Lemmon. I did that entire part of the ride, plus the descent, and then Gates Pass to Kinney Road. About 2 hrs.

I'd love to move out there. I've had enough of East Coast weather.

Ride

Up

Lemmon???

I'm impressed!

I used to live in Tucson, and I can't imagine riding UP Mt Lemmon. What an 8000 ft elevation change?

I don't think Coach Troy goes the entire way up. Just 15 miles or so. To Windy Gap, I think. It was hard.
