HAPPY EASTER FROM RIDE-STRONG!
Usually this time of year in Arizona temps are starting to push 90 degrees. Well yesterday a cold front and rain rolled through Tucson, AZ which meant snow on Mt Lemmon.
The ride up Mt Lemmon is an awesome bike ride and known to be right up there with one of the best climbs in the US. Check out the ride elevation profile below you and you will see why.

This is a rare occasion for Tucson cyclist. I just received an email from Seton Claggett who is the owner of TriSports and organizer of TRIFEST about the group bike ride up Mt Lemmon on Friday March 6, 2009. We are going to have a police escort by the Tucson Police from the Inn Suites (St. Mary’s & Granada) to the base of Mt. Lemmon. Yes, I said escorted by TPD!
The ride is going to be lead by Tucson’s own triathlete legend Jimmy Riccitello. The ride will meet at 6:30AM and ride at 7:00AM. I know several of you may be riding the TBC, but this is a very easy ride and you can at least come out and ride a portion of it to show your support of the cycling community in Tucson.
Hey Tucson – Please pass this info around to all of your cycling friends – see you Friday morning!!!
