    This is great....bucket list material and I really loved the expressions of how difficult this climb is.

      Glad you enjoyed it. I've been climbing Mt. Lemmon every two weeks. It's getting easier and easier. It's one of my favorite rides.

    I would like to do this next winter thru Cycling House. I live in Illinois and will be training the next 12 months in the hopes to reach as high as you did!🚴🏼😎

      I don't train but because of covid, I ride almost every day. My legs have never been so strong. I'm sure you can make it to the top. The climb is very gradual and if you're lucky, you won't be going against the wind. Just keep on pushing up.

    I will be going to Tucson in September of this year and plan on making this ride. Looks like a challenge but fun.

    Nice Job. I first traveled up that road the first time in 1951 (in a car) but never on my bike. While of done the El Tour a few times, I never did that ride. It was on by Bucket list but a nasty bike accident last June likely puts it out of my reach. It was nice at at least do it with you.

      Sorry to hear that. It's a great bike ride. I rode halfway up last weekend. This weekend, I'm going to to the top!

    I have been coming down to Tucson for over 30 winters since 1983. I used to ride up to the top of Mt Lemmon on weekends to stay in shape for my spring bike tours when I ride back north to Flagstaff (where I am now) and to other states. I ride south usually in the fall from where ever I have spendt the summer working. I will be back in Tucson next Monday!

      Yep, it's cold up top. Best to pack a windbreaker and fleece hat for under your helmet.

    Great video bro. What was your starting point?

    • @benphilippi2288
      @benphilippi2288  4 года назад

      I started at the base of Mt. Lemmon at a turn off. You can park there all day.

      Never found a way up that high. I usually turn around at 8,000.
