Ride up Mt. Lemmon

[SilverFoXD]

Just completed a two day ride through southern Arizona, culminating with a ride up the 25 miles of the Catalina Highway to the summit of Mt. Lemmon.

Mt. Lemmon is a tad over 9,000 ft high and the temperature read 29* at the top. No black ice, like another rider posted, but there was some snowmelt on the road. Not much motorcycle traffic traffic but a lot of bicycles. The restaurant at the summit, the Iron Door, was busy, the food was excellent, and the fireplace very welcome.

Here are some photos from the ride.

Great pictures, thanks for sharing them! I'm hoping to rent a bike when we go to Tucson to see family next Thanksgiving. I did that a couple years ago and had a great time.

Let SilverFoXD and me know and maybe we can all meet for a ride.

Will do! I Just have to get the funding request for a rental approved by the budget committee (aka the wife). :s
