Not sure if the title is true but it would make a great name for a song! It certainly does rain in Arizona and all day long. The desert has been charming today as clouds hung over the Catalina and Tucson Mountains. It rained most of the day and sometimes hard! I know, is this a big deal? Well, this is not Greenville.
We had a great day hangin' out today after Teenie double flatted in the Shootout yesterday. She started as the only woman in about a 80 person pack. About 12 miles in, she flatted on the front. We changed it and thought we would cut across and pick up the peleton but after about 2 miles her back flatted....oh well!
That pretty much finished us for the day for bike riding.
We are headed thru Gates Pass tomorrow. This takes us out by Old Tucson Studios where most of the Western films were shot until about 1980. We then pass through Saguaro National Park West. You will make this ride if you attend camp in January. It is an epic 70-75 miles depending on the exact route. Roger the rocket is going and sunny skies with temps of 55F-65F are forecasted.
The whole town is getting excited about El Tour de Tucson, next Sat the 19th. Bird hits here Wednesday to assemble custom made bunk beads and ride in El Tour. Team friend Mark Schleish, from Kansas City, will be in Thursday. Roger has a total of 8 riders. We will have several thousand other 'friends' joining us.
We are in the house and comfortable. There is long punch list, furniture is still arriving and we are fine tuning things. We entertained last night and had a wonderful time.
Hope to see you out on the bike soon!
