Another great day of cycling to finish this Kitt Peak 600k and of course more climbing. Today was warmer than yesterday and eventually hot with some headwinds on return from Oracle. Too bad though as the headwinds slowed that down a bit, yet I averaged 20mph from Oracle down to the turn-off Oracle Rd. The day started with a great section along the river. Due to flooding at mile 12.2 we did some pathfinding to find a way to get across and over to other side of I-10. Some dead-ends and short mtb like descents and walk-up of bike, and sidewalk riding (13.9 - 14.5). Even talked with construction workers at mile 13.6 to see if we could get across. We made it at mile 15.7! Some new sections for me were 15.7 - 25.5, 32.7 - 39.7, 60.1 - 70.2, and 101 - 113.1. That is almost 40 new miles. The Saddlebrooke loop, mile 60.1 - 70.2 was a challenge. There was a section where we climbed 8% grad to the control at 66.4 and I was thinking that was the hard part! Looking ahead a I could the stairway to heaven road ahead. It was our path with 10.% grade for about 0.4 mile! Oh how I was thankful there were not many vehicles here as it allowed me to postal a bit! I was rewarded we great views at the top! Awesome! Then a great descent down to Oracle Rd. Yes Oracle Rd is a rough as always! I started the day with Mike and after 35 miles I could not keep up.
