Martin: This mural is made up of layers of corrugated iron sheet to form a 3D image. Would probably look better with the sun shining through the layers but we couldn’t wait around for that to happen.
Me: Today I joined the 12 Climbs of Christmas ride. It's a tradition on New Year's Eve morning for this group to take a 4 hour route that includes 12 of the longest, steepest & toughest climbs in the middle of Phoenix. All were around Mummy Mtn & Camelback Mtn & I had never been on most of them.
Not gonna lie…it hurt. Not only were there 12 BIG climbs…but quite a few small & medium ones in-between that didn't count. Well, I counted them (I now call it the 30 Climbs of Christmas. ;-) I need help on my selfie skills (above pic) & hill climbing skills (tired legs).
This is on top of the 12th official climb and all the cyclists who made it. I'm in there…back row on the right wearing a white helmet & holding up a green water bottle.
Happy Christmas Eve!
Our legs hurt just reading about your ride, but I am a little confused...you said 12 Climbs of Christmas, but you wished us a Happy New Year's Eve??? If I were doing this ride it would take me from Christmas to New Year's Eve to finish...Merry Christmas...it is 50 degrees to Christmas Day in Ohio...crazy!
ReplyDeleteMartin - Interesting!
HaHa…I just changed the post to "Happy New Year's Eve". :-) Getting a little ahead of myself. 50 degrees is crazy! Wow. Merry Christmas!!
