Dagmar's bike riding friend, Allison, came for a three day visit againthis year.

Dagmar's bike riding friend, Allison, came for a three day visit again this year. We really had to keep her busy as she is not one that enjoys sitting still for long. The first day we did a hike up Picacho Peak which is visible from Tucson about 45 miles south. The next was a trip to the wild west town of Tombstone, Az, site of the famous OK Corral gunfight in which Wyatt Earp reached his fame. The third day they did a 25 mile bike ride with 5 miles of it going up Mt Lemmon, a training site for Olympic riders. The total climb is about 25 miles and ends in Summerhaven. I think they will save that ride for another year!! We ended the ride at the famous Le Buzz, a favorite hangout for cyclists, where they had their famous chicken pot pie.

Allison had no trouble keeping her lunch down. For a city slicker she's pretty hardy!!  You know, that hike was as difficult as our Flatiron hike!!!!

Yes, it feels good to post a few pictures again. Been concentrating so much on Pickleball haven't been doing to many other things.

I know how hardy is she is! Case in point is trying to keep up with her going up Mount Lemmon.
