Top: November 21, 2009, 7AM, 46 degrees, downtown Tucson for the start of the 108 mile El Tour de Tucson. About 4500 riders rode the 108 miler with another 4500 riding the three other distances available that day. As last year, I had to start near the end of the group even though I got there at 6:15 to line up. already too late for the premium starting spots. Bottom: Cruising up Houghton Road about a third of the way into the ride..
