Dear Tucson.... I miss you.




23 at the start. 38 at the finish. 3+ hours. One gel. I dropped it. Ever try to get a gel out of a side pocket ( under a vest) with Lobster gloves on? Then get the gloves back on? Rich went back to get it ( good ) so we didnt pollute. So i finished it. Potholes and dirt and sand and gravel.
At least no ice. Drivers and roads not quite ready for the TT bike. But soon. I hope.

Too bad we did not coordinate a ride together. Cha and I rode 3 hours, 10:30-1:30 PM. We went to Afton. Hard to ride after being in S. Cal.
Hopefully we can get our TT bikes out soon. I am also waiting to ride my new Felt road bike outside.
