    Rode up Mt Lemmon last week with a few friends. The elevation is just a tad over 8,000 feet. Beautiful ride but watch the weather. We had planned to ride there 3 weeks ago but the day we picked had a high temperature of 39F so we postponed that ride. It is definately a summer, late spring, or early fall ride. This is a ski resort in the winter with snow.....real snow. I do not recommend eating at the Sawmill Resturant at the summit. Food was OK but service was about the worst I have ever seen. Wasn't particularly crowded and we did not eat as a group. Seperate tables and still took us nearly 3 hours. You MUST ride through the town of Tucson to get there and that is a chore. Lots of cars, stop lights and bicycles. From Mesa to the top is about 130 miles so from Fountain Hills you can add about another 25 miles to that. Welcome to Arid-Zone-A.....

    As stated, Mt. Lemmon could be hit and miss with the weather, but you have many riding options from Fountain Hills to Payson, the Mogollon Rim, Sedona, Prescott, etc. etc. I'm just a few miles from FH, in Scottsdale, and have ridden almost every good road in the State. Send me a pm and I can expand on the routes.
