In conjunction with the TRIFEST weekend and affiliated training camps, a Mount Lemmon Group Ride is planned for Friday morning. The ride will leave from the Tucson Convention Center promptly at 7:00am and will reach the base of Mount Lemmon approximately 8:00am to 8:15am. It is about 16 miles from the Convention Center to the base of the mountain. From there, it is 26+ mile climb to the top with a potential climb of over 6000 feet. We will ride together to the base and then everyone will be on their own to determine how far and fast you want to ride. Be warned that the temperatures drop dramatically from the base to the top of the mountain. There is also no aid on the climb in between the base and the top so bring plenty of food and drink to get you through your planned distance. This is your opportunity to ride one of the routes that makes Tucson a training destination for endurance athletes worldwide. The ride will be led by local Tucson resident and former world champion triathlete Jimmy Riccitello. Come join a host of pro athletes, industry reps and other age-group athletes on this special ride.
