N'Emonda. Sunny, cool at start then warmed up nicely, near 65 at the summit, mostly calm day with some variable winds on the descent. This was a GABA sponsored ride with about 175 riders spread out through the day. Once again, I got an early start around 6:11 am from McDonald Park, so the distance was different from the last ride by just a bit. We had 4 SAG stops on the way up so I didn't need to carry much gear, just 2 water bottles and a few gels as they had fresh fruit, water and Gatorade and gluten free pie at the last stop. Planned turnaround was at the Ski area at the Iron Door Restaurant but like last time I chose to go for the maximum climb up to the end of the road. Quite a few chose to do this and when we got to the road closed gate, we rode around it and continued up to the real end at the Arizona University Observatory. According to the What's My Elevation App we were only 12 feet from the Mt Lemmon Summit. On the descent I was passed by another rider so I tucked in and followed him for about 25 miles and kept a much higher pace than would be normal for an Illinois flatlander - hardly touched my brakes this time. Met two other riders for beers and lunch at the Firehouse Brewery afterwards. Ride Stats: TSS: 291, IF: 71, Avg: 207W, Max: 681W, Norm: 209W, 8,774 ft climbing.
