Top of the Hill

The days are getting long. The kids are out of school. Its time for crazy ideas.

Plan #1
This year I am riding to the top of Mt. Lemmon on my birthday Sunday 7/27. I don't have a lot of time to get ready in fact many of my weekends are spoken for so I need to find a way to get some rides in during the weeks. I'm looking at shipping my bike to Philly for the 3 weeks we are back there.

In 2008 I think I've been on the bike twice and despite being in decent shape from playing basketball 3 nights a week for the last few months I think this is an appropriately ridiculous goal.

Below is alot of ridiculous data. Enjoy
