Mount Lemmon Descending Videos
For the 8th week in a row I will be be riding up Mt Lemmon. I always get pretty stoked on this climb. It’s 21 straight miles of climbing, then descend a little and go up some more. The grade is really consistent, which makes it great for intervals, riding easier, strength training, and just riding in general.
Another cool thing is that you go from Cactus forest at the bottom to snowy/ ski hill at the top, and everything in between. A few weeks ago Hommie (a.k.a. we ARE the team car) took some video of me descending and I’ve finally put it up on youtube.
Here are the videos (Mom, I think that you would be best to close your eyes and ears while you watch this)
Otherwise the WildCats are into the Sweet 16, and I’m riding up the Lemmon again Thursday.
For bike dorks I was spinning out the 54×11

Nat,
Great to catch up with you and Sean at the start of the shootout the other week. Bummer about your flat!
Mt. Lemmon is amazing. Barrie was telling me your splits last week. CRAP mate, well done! I was 1:45 to ranger station, started out WAAAY too hard and cracked the upper half.
Next year lets hit lemmon together!
Later and safe training, Rhys
