Day 5 Dec.30 '08
Another day with sweet weather...high of 75 and sun-sweet-shine!
Though it started in the 40's. Woke up with legs feeling like lead. But they quickly started feling good during the mornings 1 hour run on the Pima College cross country trail affectionately known as "The Gauntlet". Lots of hills...up and down...not so much flat! After a short rest we mounted our bikes and went for a quick 2 hour blast up Oracle road which took us just short of the town of Catalina. Traffic was a bit on the heavy side but the views of the west side of the Catalina Mountains was great uder the sunny blue skies. Then it was back to my home to quickly get ready for work.

Lisa, the area near the base of Mt. Lemmon has seen some serious development. There is not a lot of area there for dirt bikes any longer. I have been here 35+ years and there was only 250,000 people here then...we are now over 1 million! However if you head just a little east of there to the Reddington area there is lots of great trails for riding and wheeling!

More "fun" tomorrow!
