After Monday’s long and hard ride to the ski resort, we decided to take it a little easier. After some discussion, we decided to ride until we had 5,000 feet of elevation gain!
We started at about 64 degrees at 7:00 AM. Our ride took us to one mile past Windy Point. At first, there were 15-20 cyclists on the climb at the early hour! By the time we arrived at our turnaround, the weather was in the high 60’s at 7,700 feet! On the way down to our car, we saw over 100 cyclists on a Tuesday morning! We know some of these riders are people here on vacation like us trying to take advantage of the warm temperatures and head up the mountain. Some must be locals that are either retired or have shift work that allows them to ride on a weekday!
Heavy wind 30-50 mph were forecasted for Wednesday in Tucson and Tempe! Our plan was to get up early to try and get to South Mountain before the big winds arrived!
