Southern Arizona winter passion.

So this past Saturday we decided to have a little fundraiser for our beloved Arizona Trail to drum up some dough for more trail work. The day started off a chilli 50 degrees for the 25 of us who signed up for the 40 mile shuttle but once the sun broke through the clouds we were in for a real treat. This was to be my furthest ride yet on the rigid ss so a was a little nervous about being able to finish taken I bailed 23 miles into my last long ride. After finding a pace that suited me, plugging away in the warm 70 degree sun filled day, draining through 150oz of water I was able to pull up to the finishing bbq just a short 6hrs from my departure still feeling strong and craving a cold beer. Here are a few pics from the first half of the ride but then became to preoccupied with finishing to take anymore.
