An absolutely outstating ride today!! Some of the most picturesque landscape I've ever seen, hands down! While the ride up Mt Lemon is absolutely beautiful it's a bit of a challenge so go prepared. The elevation gain over the course is not only substantial it's also quite taxing however, well worth the effort. I had to do this one single today and was going to ride back to my starting point in Oro Valley but had two flats and ran out of CO2 canisters so had to get a ride back with my buddy Phil. Phil started at the LaBuzz parking lot, (end point), and rode up past Windy Point which is pretty darn impressive in itself especially considering how windy it was today!! Good work my friend. I would highly recommend Tucson to all cycling enthusiasts. It's a culture of fitness and the cycling here is non-stop, at every level. Get here if you can. And Baddlands; I'm hoping to plan something for those that are able in the next few years so keep that in the back of your mind & future planning. You'll improve in every capacity here, savvy!!
