IC3 Visitor From Minnesota

Tim (our visitor), Michael, Jimmy, Todd and Fernando

Tim Turnquist from the Twin Cities Spoke visited us last week. On Friday he rented a bike and rode up Mt. Lemmon with Lou passed the Palisades. It was his longest climb this winter for him because back home, he is mostly riding the trainer or commuting to work. What a blessing to live here in Tucson and be able to ride all year around.

On Saturday we met at Broadway Bicycles and rode out Old Spanish Trail. Tim told us that they had something called the Snipers Ridge, so we had to take him up to Pistol Hill and hammer up that hill. We had to work on the way to Pistol Hill, but once we turned around we flew back down, because the wind assisted us a little.

After the ride we went and got a little cake and coffee for recovery and shared about our Spoke life. Even though the Twin Cities Spoke has many more members, the challenges are similar, just on a different scale. What a blessing it was to spend time with another brother in Christ from our club from another part of the country.
