Perfect day to ride Mt. Lemmon. Clear, no wind, crisp but sunny fall day with the leaves in full autumn color.
Scott, Barry and I stayed together all the way up and down. We worked hard but the payoff all the way up was wonderful. We even got the road blocked off to cars for some of the ride up as they were painting the yellow strips. We were allowed thru while cars had to wait for the pilot car.
-The sandwiches at the Iron Door were wonderful and the pie a la mode split 3 ways was a perfect end to a fine lunch on the outdoor patio beneath the bright yellow Alpen leaves.
-The ride down was just right. I used a windbreaker and gloves on the upper mountain but pealed them off 1/2 way down.
-One of the best days on the mountain I can remember.
