Greetings to all the Phoenicians here on the forum....

Anyone have any crazy experiences climbing S. Mountain?

Today was my first climb.....i made it all the way behind the Antennas to see Awatukee....problem is I was overheating about 300 yards before the parking lot.

I've been riding for close to 3 months now, changed bikes a couple times....and finally decided to take the plunge....

I am hurting like hell right now, my HRM read 3500 Calories burned by the time I rode/got home.

I cannot Wait to do that again!!!!

Any of you have stories to share? i did see a lot, and I mean a lot of Roadies!
