El Tour de Tucson

Hey, Teammates!

I'm headed out west for El Tour de Tucson. I also plan on hitting a few climbs while there. Anyone else gonna be there and interested in a ride or 2?

Would love nothing more than to be jammin in Tucson, a little soon for me though, but I do plan on getting to the coffee house in Jan. I think my last best time up Mt Lemon to the 14 mile mark was 1 hour 14, does that sound about right? I was trying to catch a little Canadian rocket by the name of Jessica Spence, whom also was under the tutalage by a guy named Mirek Mazur, who trained a guy by the name of Dave Zabriskie, small world eh'

1 hr. 14 would be a sweet climbing time, if I remember right. I'm guessing the pie was as much motivation as trying to catch Jessica.

It was the last day of camp, I was riding with Mirek and a few He was coaching up the mountain. Jessica had allready taken off, after a bit Mirek said, "what are you doo-ing?" in his homeland accent. He said "you go." I'm not a great climber but there is alot on the way up that you can put the power down in the big ring, I felt I was flying, couldn't catch a little girl. On the plane home the next day I just about ate everything they had on the plane. I guess good coaches do know the right motivation.
