Dan is out of town this weekend, so we decided to do our Mt. Lemmon ride on Thursday this week. Only problem is, with the kids going back to school this week, my weekday morning training window is significantly smaller. So this will have to be a rather quick ride.
We left my place by 5:40am and were at the base before 6:00. About fifty-five good minutes of climbing later, I was approaching mile post 5 and Dan was not far behind. What is even more amazing, as I turn around to check my position, is that Tom is right behind me. Where in the hell did he come from? Apparently, Tom was supposed to ride with a friend at 5:00am. The friend couldn't make it, so Tom just decided to ride across town and catch us as we rode the mountain. Wow!
A couple of minutes pass and Dan has arrived where Tom and I are stopped. We take a few minutes for everyone to catch their breath and begin our descent. Fifteen minutes later we are pulling into my driveway just as my wife is pulling out to take my eldest to school. Perfect Timing!
We had a good workout with a nice climb in a short amount of time. Mission accomplished. Tom still has the 18 or so miles back to his place. I think I will start calling him Vinokurov (Vino or V for short).
