A Tucson Tech Talk Forum (cyclingforum.com) ride.
Roughly 75 miles with 3500 ft of climbing.

[The pictures below were taken with a relatively poor quality but portable Motorola E815 cellphone camera (1.3MP).]

After the ride (Brian Burgess and Sandiway Fong)
Conditions for the ride: 93F
Intake: 150 oz of fluid.

Brian arriving at the top of Gates Pass.
Tucson can be barely discerned way in the background.

Arriving at the top of A Mountain, aka Sentinel Peak.
My bike is in the foreground.
Mounted center are:

a Magellan eXplorist 600 mapping GPS receiver
(the black blob), and
a SRM powermeter control
(in red)

The Magellan produced the tracklog shown earlier on the topo map.

The view.
Tucson downtown in the foregrond.
Santa Catalina mountains in the background. (20 miles away.)

Brian in front of the painted A at A Mountain.
He's riding a rental Calfee carbon with Dura-Ace 10-speed.
