Congratulations on cycling 50 miles and with a late start! The weather really sucks here so I’m mostly working out on a spin bike at the gym focusing on Simulating climbs and getting into my anerobic zone. We’ve got a lot of climbing to do in Sicily.

2 years agoHmm, could be partly a matter of a different day. And that first 7 miles are pretty straight so perhaps the pickup trucks are faster there.
2 years agoNice place to camp! Great trails to hike too. In 2007 I hiked up to Flatiron, which is the highest peak in the background after spending the night there.

This does look amazing, and much different than our experience four years ago. We started in Apache Junction and it was terrifying - one of our scariest rides ever. It looks like you must lose all the traffic by the time you reach the park.

Me too. The Cristate Saguaro is fascinating to study
