Arizona Riding Day 3

Always up for a challenge... Rango and I decided to hit one of the toughest climbs around... Madero Canyon. Added a warm up loop to make it 3+hrs and could see it taunting us in the distance...

As we got closer to the 13mile climb we realized that the majority of the distance of the climb is these terribly long false flats that suck the energy out of you... And they just kept going...

With about 2miles to go the road pitches up and grows to about 15% .... No choice but to stand in my smallest gear wih no reprieve... But I made it to the top to breathe in the thin air...

The best thing about the climb was the ride down... Hit 75km/h and passed a few cars that were holding us back...

Fun times... Another good adventure on the Madone...
