We enjoyed most of the riding in Tucson except there were some roads where the pavement was not very good. The climb up Mount Lemmon was smooth and we did not have much wind. We stopped at the first "summit" at mile 21 where the road descends and then climbs to the Ski Slope.

I was the oldest in this gang but someone has to be and it might as well be me. The staff cooked all of our meals and the food was amazingly healthy and they did special diets for individuals which was really good for me since I have food allergies. We are friends with one of the campers and we met a couple of others at Masters Road Nationals last year in Bend, OR so we wanted to do the camp with this group. The men from New Jersey were a blast to cycle with and were using it as a launching pad for their racing season. The Cycling House does a superb job of running and organizing the camp. We are definitely doing another camp with them next year.
