Two work commutes, (Tuesday & Thursday), a short ride up to Saguaro NP on Saturday and another climb up Mount Lemmon this morning. I dragged myself up to mile 14 on the mountain- (36 miles total with the ride up to the base). About 4000 feet of climbing. I felt like I was riding through molasses around mile 8.... felt better but not much faster on the sections after that.

I was not with my husband, who had gone up further, when he almost had a disaster descending. His bike apparently started shimmying and he lost control, though he stayed upright, and careened into the lane which fortunately had no oncoming cars at the time. That's it- he's getting a new and stable bike before he goes back up the mountain. He test rode a couple of Specialized this afternoon.
