merdahl wants to make the ride, but is out of the country until Saturday the 1st - so we were planning on a Sunday ride.

 

Joe,

I probably will not go up to Dean's house to meet you guys. I would rather hook up somewhere before or in Florence. Are you going thru Queen Creek? Where are you guys having breakfast?

Matt

 

I'll be glad to tweak and post the the ride plan. Before I do, are there any thoughts on what plan you all would like to take? Maybe some of the other Tucson riders could jump in here, if they know of any road problems or issues with one plan or the other.

 

From Dean's house we will probably go through Florence Junction. We are planning to leave his place at 6 am and it will take us 2 hours to get to Tucson HD. We are meeting the rest of the group there at 8 am, so we'll have to get breakfast on our own before meeting at Dean's house.

I'm open to any other suggestions. We could meet in Chandler and take Arizona Ave. to the 87 to Florence, then down through Oracle to the dealer. That route is also just under two hours.

 

ok i am in for that weekend.

 

I like the idea of Mt. Lemon, before it gets snowy up there. I have never been there and heard it is a nice ride. I don't know if that makes for too short of a ride for the Tucson crew though. Just a thought.

 

dean, rode up the lemon sunday ,65 degrees very nice ride. apprx 30 miles to the top . very small little town called summerhaven at top.

 

Is this something a relatively new rider could handle??

 

donna I would say yes. speed limit I believe is 35 to 45 mph.this would be called beginner twistys. my brother just bought a bike ,2oo2 fatboy.first time up the mt. no problems

 

Are they advanced twisties at, say 50-60 mph?
