Birthday Bicycle Challenge

Well, tomorrow's my Bday and I plan on biking up Mount Lemmon from the house to celebrate.  It's like a bucket list thing to see if I can bike 30 miles from 2500' to Sky Valley at 8200'.   Can I do it?  Maybe.  I did accomplish this feat about 3 years ago preparing for a biking birdathon, but was in much better shape then, and started at the base of the mountain.   I think it will be a success if I wake up in time and attempt the climb.   And yes, the bins are coming too, as my rules do not preclude stopping for good birds.  It's all because of my philosophy (it's not about getting from point A to B, but what you experience along the way).  I will be bringing my Audubon guide for reference and my new pack (both Bday presents from Mrs S and our daughters).
So if it doesn't rain, or I don't oversleep, etc, I hope to have a nice tale to tell tomorrow.   I'm sure
