Tucson Cyclemania II Day 1

First day of riding. We woke up to another lovely day. During the night the temperature went down to the low 40s, but as soon as the sun came up above the Catalina Mountains it became nice again. After a small breakfast we did an hour loop around the Oro Valley with a short visit to the Catalina State Park. By the end of the ride the temperature was in the upper 60s. Phil had planned for us to join the Vistoso Cycling Club's Valentine lunch at the Greek restaurant "It's All Greek to Me". The food was good, the company was better and to top it off there was a belly dancer. Short rest at the house and we went for the official ride for the day to Dove Mountain. The temperatures were already in the high 70s. We were able to make short video of the ride down the mountain with Cliff's Go Pro camera. Back to the house for rest and dinner. Tomorrow we are riding the Picacho Century. Total miles for the day 48, total elevation gain ~2000 feet.
