Dog Days

This weekend I was in Tucson. I decided to bike up Mount Lemmon starting at my house (2800 feet) and riding the 25 miles to the top (8200 feet). About 1 mile from the summit, a black Honda CRV passed me, honking with the cute dog hanging out the window. It was my sister, Leslie - who had driven from Phoenix in the early morning to join me atop the mountain for breakfast. We had a great breakfast at 8200 feet where the temperature was 67 degrees. After breakfast we drove down going from 70 degrees to 103 degrees in just 30 minutes. Needless to say KD (the cute border collie) had to pull her head inside as we rolled up the windows.
