15 years ago he weighed almost 300 pounds, (he's about 5'9") and got himself a Fuji comfort bike, and started doing some hiking, too. He lost about 150 pounds, and has kept it off. Now he has a nice road bike, a mountain bike, and a single speed road bike. Oh, and he's 71 years old, and wears slip-on sneakers from Walmart, an old t-shirt, and cutoffs. He has Tucson bike pals who wear all the fancy "kit" on their carbon fiber bikes, and their shoes clip in, but they like riding with him. He keeps a good, fast, steady pace.
Me, I like to ride my road bike, but I also like to coast along, look at birds and scenery, and stop to take photos of the sunrise! Tomorrow, he can ride, and I'll go hiking. Maybe if he comes up to Flagstaff we'll see how he does on the Waterline Trail, 1400 feet of elevation gain from 8000 to 9400.
We started before sunrise. It wasn't terribly hot when we finished. There was some cloud cover early this morning. From the vantage point of the bike trail, you probably wouldn't know the Catalinas had such a big fire recently. |

Wildflowers Observation None
I was too busy trying to keep up to look for flowers. Pretty sure there are no wildflowers right now. |
