What a day, what a ride, and what a blast! It was the GABA Mt. Lemon climb to Ski Valley. Starting from the base at 6:30am was ideal as the air temp stayed consistent most of the ride up. On the ride down it was like a full body furnace blast once you hit Prison Camp. The moisture was sucked right out of you. Ride time from the base to Ski Valley was 3:25, 6600 foot elevation gain, 56 miles RT. Didn’t break any records, but that’s not what it was about. It’s all about being out there and enjoying the ride!
It was a pleasure seeing so many colorful jerseys and wonderful cycling friends going up the mountain. Syncardia had a strong showing of riders as did Cactus Cycling.
