Looks like a fun ride.

Where and how did we go that December I was out and rode the I/State?

Seems like it was up a hill, parking lot on ground zero and eating joint about 5 floors up, and walked all the way. then returned back to Phoenix.

That was a sweet ride for me.

We went the other direction... north.  Didn't we eat in Prescott?  BTW... 2nd story, not 5... LOL

Really??  I was thinking I might need electrics.... 70 is pretty chilly for the high.

Try 20 for a high...BRRRRRR

Well it won't be 20 -- but we probably won't get out of the 40s!  Low 50s if we're lucky!

Posted an update on the AZ board --- Michael is asking Connie to email the group --- we're going to regroup and take an alternative --- mountain riding & ice don't mix well with Desert Rats!

Nonetheless --- NYD 2011 -- Let's Ride!
