Mt. Lemmon - Tucson's Premier Climbing Ride

We're here in Tucson, Arizona for the 2007 League of American Bicyclists National Bike Rally. The rally includes three days of riding: Thursday and Friday we choose from several route options; and Saturday is the 25th Annual El Tour de Tucson!

Thursday we chose the infamous "Mt. Lemmon Challenge" - a 31 mile climb with 7,000' of climbing! The ride was spectacular! A super challenging climb, followed by a very rewarding (but freezing cold) descent. Here are a few shots from the day:
