The Tour de Tucson Nov 20th

[Desert Tortoise]

Az Fiddle sorry to hear about the hip problems and not being able to do the 109 course. As I was reading through I was thrilled to see you did Snyder Road. It's good to have an idea of that road. When doing the 109 mile course, you've already got a good number of miles in before that steep climb and it's pays to prepare before hitting it on the day of the event.

Hopefully you'll get to do some part of ETT. The 40 mile will be mostly downhill. Although the forecasted winds might negate that.

I hope you recover soon. Hey, maybe Tour of the Tucson Mountains early next year?

Thanks for the kind thought- I will be standing on Houghton Road and cheer for my DH and friends as they pass. I was so ready to tackle this, but my hip/leg just didn't want to cooperate. Maybe I will be in shape to ride more later in the winter, and to do the April Tour of the Tucson Mountains ... I hope so.
