I have a big week planned - with two must do, key rides.
-Kitts Peak
-Mt Lemmon.
I'm going to pick the best weather day for Lemmon, whenever that day falls in the week. But my current plan looks like:
-Tune up ride on the loop my first evening there
-Kitts Peak the following day
-Metric century on Arivaca road (and yes, there is a small town/junction in the middle of each direction)
-easy day - Saguaro and some of the loop
-Mt Lemmon
-easy day, possible rest day
-Mt Graham if I have the legs, if not - one of the local canyon rides around Tucson.
Other thoughts were to spend less time in Tucson - more time around Mt Graham. Add a trip up Morencini Mine climb.
awesome. you'll have a blast.
totally unrelated except that you'll be in the area...would be remiss if i didn't mention both the pima air & space museum along with the titan missile museum/experience. both are within a 30 min drive of dt tucson.
if you've ever been curious about where a third of our tax dollars go yearly...but both are top notch visits if you've got extra time/need a day off.
p.s. don't forget pikkies here when you ride tucson!
