What should have been a 15 mile easy ride, turned into 3 downhill and 3 uphill with 20 minutes of shivering in a carport while the hail stormed down. Didn't we leave Milwaukee for sunshine?
Circle loop through Saguaro National Park East and a cross-town ride to Sabino Canyon. Flash flood warnings due to snow melt (yes, Tucson, not Milwaukee). Short hike.
Bike ride up over Gates Pass (the easy slope) followed by a ride almost to the Mexican border. 800' in 5 miles in the morning; 800' in 26 miles in the afternoon.
Short road ride to Buenos Aires Wildlife Preserve.
Ride from the ranch to Amado with a slight detour down Ruby Road, just for the scenery.
Ride to Whipple Observatory and then to Tubac and back.
