Saguaro National Park

Happy Family Day to everyone. We celebrated the holiday by going for a bike ride. "What's new" you ask, I know we do that every day but today we rode to Saguaro National Park. Once we got off Broadway, the main east/west street, we started along Old Spanish Trail. The road lives up to its name by meandering up into the mountain. It was hard slugging on my blue Huffy but we made it. Thank goodness we had enough water with us. On the way down Derek's bike started to seize up and we had to stop as we got back into the city so he could buy some WD40 and drench his bike. In fact he had to carry his bike for the last bit. Derek has been talking about cycling in the desert since last year. He poured over the bike route maps and information we had at home. He googled bike shops in Tucson. He had it all planed, we were going to the National Park. Well we did it!
