Winter must end with January in Tucson since so far in February we’ve hit 80 degrees most every day. Afternoon riding is now down-right balmy. Lately I’ve transitioned to some more climbing oriented workouts so mount Lemmon has been a staple of the weekly routine. For some reason battling a climb works for me mentally. A bunch of other battles work for me too, but a good uphill fight is always worth the while. After a ride with Cole earlier this week I’ve learned that there are ways to go even faster on the descent too, so maybe I’ll have to start working on that some more.
Later today I’m going to do my first ever ride aboard a TT bike. The venue for such a ride ought to be perfect too since it’ll be on the Tour of the Gila TT course. Chloe and are are headed to Silver City for a mini training camp and some recon work of the various stages. With all the heat here in Tucson the cooler temps there ought to be refreshing. Should have 220+ miles in by Sunday evening…
More details to come after the weekend. There are a mountain passes to be climbed and miles to be ridden so I best get things packed for the weekend. Next week will be the unveiling of some new gear. Carbon will be the theme…
