Those colors with the bright eye!
2 years agoThank you! I will be there in a few short days to check it out! I rode here in Colorado for the first time yesterday since my return from Tucson. 34 degrees/11 miles. It felt wonderful to get out. 74 degrees/42 miles would have been even better!
2 years agoI locked my bike up at the edge of the visitor center parking lot and walked in. It’s a very short distance. I added a map to show the location.
2 years agoJacinto rode up Madera Canyon as a side trip on the way to Amado several years ago. He had so many flat tires that he arrived well after dark. It was not his best day.
Wayne Estes stayed at a cabin up Madera Canyon and enjoyed it. I've pitched that idea a couple of times to Jacinto, but he never wants to see the canyon again . . .
Could you tell me on your map about what mile the crested saguaro is? And the one with the prickly pear growing inside? I can't readily tell where you did any walking . . .
2 years agoThe combination of the radar and tail light The radar is integrated with our Garmin Edge 1030plus and they make me feel a lot safer on busy or windy roads. Also, the tail light works better than any we’ve had in the past.

Somewhat a-peeling...
2 years agoThose Garmin tail lights sound interesting. Hope they work for you. Aside from the beep to warn you of on-coming cars, I think it's a great idea to ride with a tail light even in the day time. We always do.
2 years agoSome of both, but mostly luck. I’ve had my eye out for one of these this winter but they’re pretty secretive. Probably if I was out earlier or later in the day like I was this time more often I’d have more luck.
2 years agoThat’s an amazing observation Greg, and you’re right on - it’s an excellent likeness. I’m sceptical though. His biography do3snt indicate that he ever ventured south of France, and even with global warming the cactus family still hasn’t penetrated Scandinavia.
2 years agoEvery time I see your fine bird photos, I think you are either very lucky or you have the patience of a Jedi Knight. ("Patience, young Skywalker, patience." -Yoda)
2 years agoAt the intersection of the arms of that cholla, I swear I see the inspiration for Edvard Munch's "The Scream."
2 years agoWow - another good catch!

Congratulations on getting a ride in. That’s way too cold for me! Enjoy your stay in Tucson!
