Tucson

A week before Thanksgiving, Scott and I went for a short trip down to Tucson. Scott and a few of his riding buddies decided to meet down there and ride the "Tour of Tucson" bike race together.

They all finished. 102 miles in 6 hours and 20 minutes. Pretty impressive considering none of them had done much riding the month before the race.

The weather the warm and the food was great and I didn't have to ride a bike to enjoy it all!

Taking a short break at mile 75.

Scott always wears his lucky "leisure suite" jersey for bike races.
