The year I did Tour de Tucson I was with groups all the way until about the 80 mile mark-we came down Tangerine with a terrific group of 20+/- and only 4-5 of us were doing the pulling. We took a left on that long road that parallels I10 and I had to stop to get fluids. I lost the group and never did get grouped back up and lost about 10 mins to the finish as there was a nice headwind that day on that stretch. I was desparately looking for a wheel to grab but everyone was so spaced out nothing ever materialized. I do recall it being a pretty tough stretch and I was more than ready to get off that road. Is is Silverbell???
