Warm Weather Training

Kate and I have spent the last week in Tucson, AZ getting some warm weather training under our belts and having tons of fun. After Kate drove from WI to Boulder, CO on Saturday, she flew to Tucson on Monday. She is quite the traveler.

Tuesday was a ride to Sonoita, AZ. We couldn't figure out why there were a million Border Patrol Agents passing us on the way down there. Was it because we were that close to the Mexican Border and this was normal? Or, was it because there was huge (2,200 pounds) marijuana bust in Sonoita? Um- yes. Wednesday Sonoita caught fire. I didn't realize the desert could burn like that. Thursday the fires were put out by the snow that fell on Sonoita. Looks like we picked the right day to ride there. I would rather run into 2,200 pounds of marijuana then fire or snow.

Some pictures from our adventures.

After climbing and climbing, we were rewarded.

More adventures soon! I am finishing Valley of the Sun today and team camp starts tomorrow!
