Tucson, 3/13 Mt Lemmon & Gates Pass

Barb arrived on Wed and we rode Mt. Lemmon on Thursday, hiked Gates Pass on Friday, and did a 23 mile biking loop yesterday.  Biking Mt. Lemmon twice in one week is enough!!  We abandoned the ride leader on Gates Pass after 30 minutes and came back down.  Very loose rocks and gravel on a steep ascent did not make sense to me or seem safe!!!!!!!!!  We drove to another trail head and had a safer more pleasant hike.  Susie lives near so she actually hiked back to her house and had lunch and Margaritas ready for us!!  A perpect ending!!!!!!!!!!!!  Social life has been over the top!  Tonight, we go to Judy and Pablo's for our sixth happy hour in six days!!!!  It has been fun but I could not continue this???!!!  In an hour we will ride to Rincon Market with the KC group for the every Sunday "Farmer's Market" breakfast.  It has been in the 80's for the last week!!!  Most important, we see the sun every single day!!
