The original idea of a trip to Flagstaff was scuttled once <a href="http://drunkcyclist.com/2010/06/24/holy-shit/">a fire broke out,</a> so we decided to stay in our own backyard. So, Matt and I rode up to the top of Mt. Lemmon, loaded with gear and reinforcements would soon gather with steaks and cold beer. The summer time has officially started here in Tucson with triple digit temps, so getting to the high ground was a priority.<br />

Loaded with sleeping bag, air mattress, cookware, lots of food, change of clothes, running shoes and tools. Later during the pedal to the top, I would be overcome by the sheer awesomeness that my setup exuded. I still need to pack less and it's better to get as much gear on the bike as possible. A 30+ pound backpack hurts on a 29 mile climb. Oh, and having gears would probably help, too!<br />

I wish there were icy spots. We hadn't even reached Bear Canyon yet and Matt had already bummed some water off some hikers at Molino and it was HOT. We ducked into the shade at Bug Springs trailhead to cool down when some MTB'ers drove by. I yelled out <i>"got any spare water??"</i> to which he replied <i>"anyone wearing a DC jersey can have some of my water!"</i> Thanks Vern for the ice cold water and Powerade! We mustered the strength and determination to push on, knowing that this next section was fully exposed and it was only getting hotter.<br />

Apparently, he didn't take too kindly to my consumption of the High Life off in the corner, wrapped in a bag and out of sight...well, obviously, not out of <i>his</i> sight.<br />

By the time we reached Prison Camp it was hot as Hades and facing the pedal home, Matt and I called an audible...take the road! The others dropped into Prison Camp while we coasted the next 6 miles to the base. Along the way down a line of cars passed us, but something about this pickup truck was off. As I drafted behind him, I could smell smoke and saw something billow from the bed. It wasn't ash coming from his BBQ but rather smoke. Jokingly, I thought to myself we'll soon see this guy down the road and sure enough we did.<br />

There he was, pulled over with another motorist helping him extinguish the flames. Apparently, he neglected to properly put out his grill fire, wanted to save the partially burnt briquettes, or was just a complete idiot. I think he was a culmination of all of the above. Driving down Lemmon, his grill had shifted, causing his rug and bed to catch on fire. Embers from this rolling grill on wheels could have easily started a fire anywhere along the way, let alone multiple fires! This in the wake of what happened to <a href="https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/ftp/InciWeb/AZCOF/2010-06-20-22:39-schultz-fire/picts/pict-20100623-112519-3.jpeg">Schultz Pass in Flagstaff</a> leaves no margin for carelessness.

My Grad school presentation meant we were getting a late start, and finally departed T-town after 7:30pm. North thru Flagstaff, the Rez at night and first light in Moab, we drove for 11 hours straight to reach Fruita, CO.<br />

Somewhere along the way I picked up a hole in my tire, thus resulting in a Stan's FAILURE. As it would turn out, this was the <i>only</i> mechanical of the weekend. Everyone kept it on two wheels and only one flat tire. Not bad considering the ground we covered in 3 days. <br />

From the Loma parking lot we embarked upon <i>Mary's- Rustler's Loop- Horsethief Bench- Steve's Loop- Lion's Loop- Mack Ridge. </i>Originally, we thought we could tackle <i>Moore Fun Ridge</i> on the way back, but that proved to be a little much to bite off, so the decision was made to hit the frontage back to the car and cold beer.<br />

Seems the water temp was about 58 degrees, which only served to solidify my decision to watch and drink a road soda instead. Fruita treated us to some of the finest singletrack I have ever ridden and despite the 22 hours of driving round-trip to get there, it was<i> soooo</i> worth it. I'll definitely be headed back for the next road trip and to say hi to my new buddy, Tater!<br />

Park City was a great time, despite their strange liquor laws, warm beer, side cars and the LDS. The trip wasn't even over yet and we're already making plans for the 8th Annual trip.

Risk management, compliance, power lunches, staff development, mitigation, synergy and legal. Just keep passing the cake, Milton...Now, after heeding my parent's wishes, and thoroughly understanding the necessity for new challenges and continuing my education, I embark on a new adventure. Welcome to the Eller MBA, where the next 18 months will be spent immersed in study.<br /><br />Before my program of higher education commenced, Libby and I headed to the Chiricahua Mountains to ring in the new year.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lUoISVuCXDQ/S1PesZAPe_I/AAAAAAAABkU/34Xa30vdcRQ/s1600-h/IMG_6521.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;

Something always came up, until now. With several weekends of long rides under my belt I felt I had the legs to give it a go. And why not? I had the time and the weather was in the 70's. I've ridden 100 plus miles on the road more times than I care to recall, but 100 miles on a mountain bike is a little different. The added rolling resistance from the nobbies, different gearing, 'er, scratch that last one, but it's no walk in the park. And throw in one gear to make things a little more interesting!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lUoISVuCXDQ/SdakSYF24MI/AAAAAAAABSw/SQVpSgX8LCA/s1600-h/rideprofile.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 93px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lUoISVuCXDQ/SdakSYF24MI/AAAAAAAABSw/SQVpSgX8LCA/s320/rideprofile.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320620645396439234" border="0" /></a><br />Just a slight hill thrown in the mix and 8936 ft. of climbing by the end of the day.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lUoISVuCXDQ/SdahsZ9g_uI/AAAAAAAABRI/zs95_rHqdb4/s1600-h/002.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lUoISVuCXDQ/SdahsZ9g_uI/AAAAAAAABRI/zs95_rHqdb4/s320/002.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320617794040037090" border="0" /></a><br />I think I have enough stuff... I went thru 200 oz. of water and four large water bottles by the end of the ride. I wanted to ensure that I was properly hydrated and consumed enough calories. Maybe it was too much since my stomach was upset most of the ride from digestion and I stopped probably every 20 minutes to drain.

The temps were still too warm to ride down low so Lemmon was the venue. Twelve of us would make the run from the top down to Molino Basin. Two flats less than 20 minutes into the ride were later parlayed into 1 torn pair of shorts, one daring Sadcow who cut the ass out of Dane's shorts, two gents riding thru and/or stepping in human feces in the middle of the trail, one run over snake and one very patient rattler.<br /><div><a
