Back in the Saddle

Tucson is a bike friendly community -- bike lanes, a bike freeway, and many multi-use bike trails.  So we woke up early (before 6am) to beat the heat and were in the saddle for the first time in months.  Our hotel is only a few blocks from the Santa Cruz River Trail.   We rode for 30 minutes and then turned around and rode back sharing the trail with other cyclists, joggers, and dog walkers.  It felt great to be out and riding again.  The training for the Selkirk Loop ride in Idaho later this summer has officially begun.

We will be leaving Tucson today heading east a bit and then north.  Mostly we want to find some altitude so we can escape the oppressive heat wave.
